> A Kucinich delegate in Boston and the totalitarian democratic party

He kept his promise to the people who elected him.

He saved the residents millions of dollars on their utility bills (as you stated). He was vindicated for his decision, because even the city council saw that he was right! He was honored with an award from the city council for his brave stance. Sometimes the correct and moral decision is not the easy and obvious one. In retaliation for their loss of profit, the profiteers smeared him and it was only years later that the city wondered where was this guy? The guy who had saved their utility company from the grasp of greedy for-profit companies.

And by the way, the privateers who pressured him to sell the utility were the same group of companies responsible for the huge blackout that blanketed most of the NE US and parts of Canada in August... Kucinich did well to stick to his convictions, keep his promise to the people who elected him, and not cave to the pressure of companies interested in profit over service.

Hopefully, Public Utility Districts will replace the for-profit companies like Enron who drain money from consumers with criminal methods.
