i’m going to the kucinich meetup in grand rapids tonight. kris is big into kucinich. i’m neutral at this point. the pragmatist in me doesn’t think he’s electable, despite the fact that some of his positions resonate with me. oh well. it should be interesting to at least get a glimpse of how the political meetup thing works in west michigan.

update:i’m back. although there were only a handful of people there, it was quiet informational since a member of the michigan kucinich grassroots campaign was there from kalamazoo. of course, the issue of his electability came up and i learned a lot. the evidence seems to indicate that it’s at least semi-plausable, if one ignores superficial issues such as the fact that he’s divorced and is living with his long-time girlfriend. i’m teetering on getting involved in a more direct way, so we’ll see what happens over the next few weeks.
