Poll: 40 Percent of Americans Say Privacy Rights "Important" in 2008 Election
MSNBC: Is Obama the privacy candidate?:
"Americans think Barack Obama is the Democrat most likely to advance their privacy rights and that Rudy Giuliani is the least privacy-sensitive of the top three Republican candidates, a new survey suggests.
"The telephone poll of 600 adults, conducted by private research firm The Ponemon Institute, also found that 40 percent of Americans say protection of privacy rights is either important or very important in determining preference for the next presidential election.
"Asked to select both the Democratic and Republican candidate they believe is most likely to 'advance your privacy rights,' respondents preferred Obama over Hillary Clinton and John Edwards by nearly a 2-to-1 ratio, with 43 percent naming Obama compared to 25 percent for Edwards and 23 percent for Clinton."

I find it very hard to believe Kucinich was even mentioned. Undoubtedly, he would be the choice as THE protector of privacy.
Dennis Kucinich is the ONLY one who can say he voted against the war.
That was an act of character and integrity.
Only he deserves our trust in the future.
