I thought that the MoveOn primary was one of the brilliant events in the 2003 primary, adding volunteer power, issue attention and new money to the antiwar effort. I applaud the emphasis on issues.

Note that Kucinich, who trails in the money and national polls, finished third in the MoveOn Iraq town hall, and second in the global warming town hall. He presumably improved his position more than the others, based on the strength of his issue positions.

And yet YearlyKos will not invite Kucinich, the only one who supports impeachment and single-payer health care, instead inviting four people who supported the war.
