I am 34. Obama was the exciting candidate in 2008. No one could really contend with him. Looking over Kucinich I don't really see him campaigning against superPAC or trying to get money out of politics at firSt blush. Was he really ever a serious contender against Obama though? The anti-corporate stance is what sets Sanders apart from other Democratic candidates (particularly Clinton). Green party has a similar anti-corpirate platform, but no momentum.
