Dennis Kucinich is claiming ABC news discriminated against him in the debates, which is obvious - they do this every debate (the moderator never asked him a question until 28 minutes into the debate). He also claims he was taken out of a photo of the candidates. Let me first say I am not supporting Kucinich, though he represents nearly everything I stand for. I don't believe he has a chance and it is not his belief system, it is his way he carries himself. He talks like a boxer in my opinion, however he deserves to be heard just as all of the candidates deserve to be heard.What is actually alarming about his claims is the Kucinich campaign says Kucinich took a "commanding lead" in an online poll following the debate asking, "Who won the Democratic debate?" sometime Monday afternoon before ABC replaced it with another poll later that day. Kucinich again took a lead in that poll and it was removed from ABC's Web site, the campaign said.
As of early Friday, Kucinich had received more than 15,100 votes in the unscientific poll, giving him a wide margin over Barack Obama who was running second with about 9,200 votes.
ABC News Executive Director Andrea M. Jones also said ABC did not attempt to hide the poll, but she did not address the fact that it had been removed from ABC News's front page Rawstory reported. Its results were not reported because the poll is unscientific, she said.
Scientific? Since when are on-line polls scientific? Not allowing Kucinich to speak in the debates is one thing, though I think it ridiculous. Maybe Kucinich would have a better chance if he was allowed the same air time and platforms the big three are given. But, taking a poll down because Kucinich is winning is pretty preposterous. Why put the poll up in the first place? If you don't agree with the results you take it down?
Oh, that liberal media.
