First impression…

…of the AFL-CIO Presidential forum? Without Mike Gravel, Biden becomes the cranky old dude on stage.

No one wins these things. The winner is named - or, likely not - at the endorsement convention by folks whose support isn't readily earned with a soundbite. Still, it was entertaining and a chance to see Dennis Kucinich at his best with the encouragement of the kind of audience he's built his entire political career on impressing. When he says he'll have a "worker's White House," you believe he would, even though you know he never will.
