But what'll you do if he isn't the Democratic nominee, or worse, if he
decides to then run as the Green candidate?

I don't expect you to agree with me when I say that Kucinich can't possibly
win against George Bush, and so I strongly doubt he will win the Democratic
nomination. But my concern, if that happens (if Kucinich is not nominated),
is that we don't repeat what happened in 2000. Kucinich supporters will
have to support the Democratic candidate no matter who it is, as
distasteful as that may be, if Bush is to be defeated. Otherwise, Bush will
stay put, and the future as we would like it to be, will be no more.
