Democrat Dennis Kuchinich, who just recently joined the race, lashed out at fellow democratic candidate John Edwards on Friday. He said to him that he showed a "consistent lack of integrity" but suggesting fewer candidates should participate in presidential forums.
"This is a serious matter and I'm calling him on it," Kucinich, an Ohio congressman, said in a telephone interview Friday. "Whispering, trying to rig an election, then denying what's going on and making excuses. It all reflects a consistent lack of integrity."
Kucinich said this after Edwards and Clinton were overheard on Thursday talking about the possibility of limiting the number of participants in the future.
Kucinich, who typically polls in the low single digits, clearly felt the slight was directed at him. All eight Democratic contenders took part in the program, including Barack Obama, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Mike Gravel and Kucinich.
i think that it is right for Kucinich to lash out at Edwards like he did because he has strong viewpoints and has the chance to be a strong contender. For Edwards and Clinton to say the things they did i feel is unfair because they are the front runners and to not give anyone else a chance is not right.

I believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinions; Edwards and Clinton to theirs, Kuchinich to his. It was not polite for Edwards to express and deny his opinionated belief to the public but it was also not right for Kuchinich to bash out on it. I think the campaign system has become very dirty and negative and candidates are just constantly trying to make their opponents look bad for self-gain.
