It’s a safe bet that Mike Gravel will never be president of the United States. He’s too old, too poor, and too…grumpy. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore him. As anyone who thinks seriously about what’s going on in the world knows, he has a very, very good reason to be grumpy. While the […]

Props to our fellow 35 Percenter, Davis Fleetwood, for putting everything into perspective with his latest video. With Snow, Rove, and Gonzales jumping ship, the Hermit reminds us not to get all excited and blow our load just yet. Our goal is to support Kucinich’s HR 333 to impeach Dick Cheney. We won’t be content […]

Update: Head over to The Largest Minority for a slightly updated poll and analysis.
I’m not sure if Dennis Kucinich is the new Ron Paul (in terms of internet popularity) — or that we even want him to be — but he’s building an impressive streak of online poll victories. The latest survey, running on MSNBC.com […]

A couple weeks ago, Dennis sent “A Call Out to Producers” on YouTube that encouraged supporters to make ads for him and upload them to that site. This is a great idea — a political version of Current TV’s “Viewer-Created Ad Message” campaign — and it’s only a matter of time before the more prominent […]

Update: Head over to the Huff Post to read an article by Senator Bernie Sanders (doesn’t that sound nice?) about this video and his critically important bill to require congressional approval before any kind of military action against Iran. (h/t IamGadfly)
An important, just-released video from Brave New Films shows how Fox News is again acting […]

The recent debate in Iowa was the 27th Democratic forum this year. Yes, the twenty-seventh. It’s hard to blame Americans for losing interest, especially when hardly any debating occurs at these promotional events for the front-runners. Jon Stewart put the most recent debate in proper context — and his show last night is the feature […]

Thanks to one of YouTube’s true heroes, CSPANJUNKIEdotORG, here is Sunday’s Democratic debate in full. Now we can all make up our own minds about who were the best performers. Dennis wasn’t asked a question until 26 minutes into the debate (see the very beginning of Part 4 for his first answer), but still managed […]

Update: Here’s the full survey as of 7pm ET:
Update #2: Check out this great “talk clock” courtesy of ChrisDodd.com. We already know the media will cover the celebrity candidates disproportionately, so can someone tell me again why all the candidates aren’t at least given equal time to speak during the debate? And why the moderator […]

Here’s the full soundtrack to the “Peaceman vs. Chenguin” vid. The songs are posted in the order they appear in the video, but the most requested ones seemed to be the background for the Iraq War scene (”Sky is Falling”) and the outro (”Memorial Day”). I’m a fan of all of these artists, but check […]

We plan to have a number of people blogging for The 35%ers in the coming weeks and months, so keep an eye on our feed. Our focus will be primarily on communicating a unique, Kucinich-oriented perspective on the 2008 presidential race, and on putting the spotlight on the media’s shameful coverage of politics. But we’ll […]
