Mike Robbins, a motivational speaker based in San Francisco, was on a business trip to Seattle and stopped by Thursday's luncheon to hear Kucinich speak.

"I've been pretty cynical about politics for a long time," Robbins said. Then, at a town hall meeting last spring, Kucinich started speaking "and within five minutes I was crying," Robbins recalled. "I had never heard a politician talk about love and truth and integrity and mean it. It's the first time in my life I've been so inspired by a politician."

Robbins, 29, said he was so moved, he helped open a San Francisco office of Kucinich volunteers, well before the campaign did.

"We've really needed him in this race, because he's been a voice for a lot of people who have felt disenfranchised," Berendt said. "He's pulled a lot of people who were Nader voters back into the Democratic Party."
