CNN Debate in Las Vegas, November 15, 2007, moderated by Wolf Blitzer - Whether by coincidence or pressure-caused design, the CNN Democratic debate in Las Vegas was hardly impartial.

NBC News/Philadelphia Debate, October 30, 2007, moderated by Brian Williams, Tim Russert - Most memorable LIne of the Debate: "... it was an unidentified flying object, OK? It's, like, it's unidentified. I saw something. Now, to answer your question, ... I'm also going to move my campaign office to Roswell, New Mexico... "

ABC News/Iowa Debate, August 19, 2007, moderated by George Stephanopoulos - Dennis Kucinich was rightfully annoyed that he was allotted only 5 minutes to speak. Rep. Kucinich has a distinctly alternative approach to most issues, and Democrats deserve to be offered as many options as possible.

CNN-YouTube Debate, July 23, 2007, moderated by CNN's Anderson Cooper - Rep. Dennis Kucinich presented his unambiguous case for peace, universal healthcare and prosperity for all, not just the wealthiest Americans. I, for one, am grateful that Rep Kucinich is in the 2008 race for the White House because he forces the leading candidates to confront realities.

PBS-Howard University debate, June 28, 2007, moderated by Tavis Smiley - Certainly, Dennis Kucinich's political philosophy is to the left of most Americans, but if pundits and the voting public would just stop and really listen, as David Letterman did on his show last night, the Congressman from Ohio might have a fighting chance.

California Democratic Convention, April 28-29, 2007 - Dennis Kucinich can orate with the very best. He mesmerized the end-of-the-day crowd with skills that would make a pentecostal pastor proud. Rep. Kucinich's utopian ideas will always resonate with liberals of the Golden State.

DNC Winter Kick-Off Meeting, February 1-3, 2007 - I wish every Democrat, and every American, could listen to Rep. Kucinich's DNC Winter Meeting 2007 haunting plea for peace. He briefly mentioned his long-time proposal for a cabinet-level Department of Peace and Non-Violence, and he reiterated his call for single-payer universal health care insurance and Medicare for all Americans. He also rightfully pointed out that he voted against the Iraq War in 2002, and has consistently voted to defund the Iraq War.
