Kucinich is greater than all.
The defining moment for Dean, to me, was at a rally of his I saw on C-SPAN right before Wisconsin voted in the primaries(Dean's last stand).
After he spoke he walked through the crowd and one lady there asked Dean, "Why don't you support gay marriage?" And Dean said "It's personal." The lady asked again for a more in-depth answer. Dean said, "I'd rather not get into it, it's personal decision." He continued to walk away and couldn't even give the lady a decent answer. Dean was too personal...that's why his campaign sucked. Dean, in the end, was his own problem...putting himself and his "personal" beliefs before the concerns of the public...in this case equal rights.
I'm happy he didn't make it as the nominee. Kerry at least can bend a little. As he already stated he keeps his religious and political views seperate(as he was confronted about this on abortion). And from what I saw of Kerry...he'll actually give people a decent answer on why he isn't for gay marriage...rather than "it's personal" and walk away.
Kerry >>>> Dean
Kucinich is still the best though. The guy had a plan for everything. Go to his website, it's all still there. Rational reasoning behind everything. Sad, the media ignored him and late-night just wrote him off as a joke. Kucinich should be President.
