"Takes a whole lot o' tryin'"


Here's an essay by D. P. Welch regarding Dennis Kucinich's dissing Chris Matthews' request for a second appearance on Hardball. Snippet:

Sure, it means more flying time and more traveling--but DK's people don't stay in hotels. Sure we work harder for every victory--but we are all used to that. I know that it takes time, and it's a double-edged sword. The national media won't take DK seriously until the first surprising votes roll in. And without exposure, we worry that the momentum will ever reach critical mass. But make no mistake: the permanent branding of Dennis the Also Ran, with DK himself laying his head on the block, has equal power to shape this exposure in a way that will permanently set him in the back of the pack. Unless he has an affair with Gennifer Flowers and the media are all over him all of a sudden, I don't think there is much good that can come from submitting to Matthews' crap.
