Kucinich is running, one of the "pack of 9", but he certainly isn't a frontrunner.
Has a reputation as the most liberal of the liberals, which probably translates to "unelectable" (Dean's getting the majority of super-liberal support so far.)
Hard to imagine who can beat Dean for the dem nomination at this point, tho no one's actually voted yet so ya shouldn't count those chickens.
Gore endorsed Dean yesterday; but the two real big shots in the Dem party (Mr. & Mrs. Clinton) haven't made any endorsements yet. Word is they will back Wesley Clark. If they do, then it could get interesting.
And: keep an eye out for Al Sharpton. He's running a much better campaign than anyone expected and could wind up being the "king maker" (he can't win, but will probably pick up quite a few delegates in the south -- enough to decide who gets the nomination if it's close at the end.)
