it may not be populism, but leftist sentiment might be present. its a
media affair involving millions of dollars of course: kucinich was
relatively unknown to most, let alone his stand. in a democratic

participants referred to him not by name, but as the guy who was not
serious because he was looking for a bride on the internet.
