Posted by First Punch Yet Kucinich might want to start shopping for a new analogy. He already used the Seabiscuit analogy in 2004, despite finishing more like Herbie the Lovebug -- if Herbie were to veer off the road and explode, setting fire to the $2.9 million in federal tax dollars Kucinich spent on his campaign. And the famed horse wasn't nearly as skilled as the congressman at inventing polls that show him in the lead. In an interview with MSNBC's Joe Scarborough last week, Kucinich dismissed the real polls in favor of his own metrics. After a recent candidates' forum in Los Angeles, "Everyone who watched it said clearly that I was the person who ought to be the next president," Kucinich said. His sample size: Four guys in dreads listening to open-mic poetry at the Phoenix coffee shop in Lakewood. (They didn't actually watch it, but they really dig Kucinich's stance on "medical marijuana and shit.") Margin of error: Three pot brownies. Dennis is also a firm believer in online polls, where by the magic of the internet you can vote for yourself 45,366 times. After another recent forum, Kucinich's office sent out a press release claiming an online poll showed he had "won" the debate, beating not only Hillary and Barack, but also some guy on MySpace named "Pimpology243," the backyard wrestler Thrillbilly, and the band Ron Jeremy's Schlong.

Congressman Dennis Kucinich likes to see himself as the Seabiscuit of the presidential race. Much like the storied race horse who emerged from ridicule to victory, Kucinich says that, despite polls that show him slightly behind the deceased Colonel Sanders, he's going to come from behind and win this thing.
