January 4th PBS Interview with Dennis Kucinich on Bill Moyers Journal

http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/01042008/watch3.html

This update talks about DKs exclusion from the Iowa and New Hampshire debates. About 700 supporters rallied in New Hampshire. The health insurance industry has enormous impact in Iowa and this has likely effected recent decisions there as DK is the only candidate calling for a single payer insurance, DK addressed the clash of two streams of media...emerging internet-based information technology and the conventional television technology. He emphasized that he spent a lot of time in Iowa during 2004. Not being involved there this year allowed for beneficial time spent elsewhere. The television media is aiming to minimize conflict by focusing on the top three democratic candidates who share many similar views, while DKs progressive democratic view is radically different. He refers to himself as a Democrat's Democrat.
