Braun, Sharpton and Kucinich all feel their the right person for the job
Washington-AP -- When Dennis Kucinich (koo-SIN'-ich) was mayor of Cleveland in the 1970s, the city went bankrupt. But the Democratic presidential hopeful says that experience uniquely qualifies him to head the country. He tells A-B-C's "This Week" the city went in the hole because he refused to back down to special interests.
He joined other Democratic hopefuls Al Sharpton and Carol Moseley Braun, on the morning program.
Sharpton balked at suggestions his push for a progressive agenda will hurt the Democratic Party in the general election. He says he can't hurt a party that doesn't control the Senate, House, White House or Supreme Court. He says the only thing he can do is help revive the party.
As for Braun, she's not deterred by low poll figures and lack of recognition. She says she's always had to run the unexpected race and has never been given a shot to win any election. But she says with one exception, she's won them all.
