...he made two big -- and I mean really big -- mistakes that will forever keep him in the "nutjob" camp in the minds of the general public:  He handled about as badly as it could have been handled the UFO incident, and he put himself in a position where he was forced to apologize for criticizing the President.

Those two things aside, he's been right about everything else.  But his ability to be an effective spokesperson for the left has been mortally wounded, and I don't think it's in our interests to hang on to him.  We don't want the independents and undecideds to think that all of us on the left are nutjobs, too, no matter how unfair the charge against Kucinich might be.
