02/12/2004 There's a cartoon in the Feb. 9 New Yorker showing the results of the "Mars Primary."

Dean has 3 percent. Kerry, Edwards, and Lieberman each has 1 percent of the vote. Clark and Sharpton each get half a percent.

Leading the pack, pulling 93 percent of the Martian total, is none other than Dennis Kucinich.

The joke isn't complicated. Kucinich is the candidate from outer space. Get it?

While down-to-earth Kerry has 516 of the 2,161 delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination, out-in-orbit Kucinich has two more than you and me.

But here's the twist. If Kucinich is from Mars, a lot of Iowans are drifting closer to the red planet than they'd like to admit.
