Washington Post: The Vindication of Dennis Kucinich?
Dennis Kucinich lost his house seat when redistricting forced him to complete with Marcy Kaptur from Toledo. I am not in that district but I certainly would have voted for Marcy.
Richard Corday his establishment opponent has a "A" rating from the NRA; Kucinich is proud of his "F" rating.
Kucinich has been endorsed by Our Revolution, Sander's post election organization, but not by Sanders. Part of the design of Our Revolution was to get Sander's out of the endorsement role, although he sometimes still endorses people personally.
A recent e-mail for Corday admits the race is neck and neck. Early balloting began yesterday; Primary Day is May 8th.
I plan to vote for Dennis. Never though gun control would make me a single issue voter, but in this case with the momentum to do something about gun control it is worth the chance. His nomination would also send a message to the Democratic establishment.
Whether Dennis can ride the "non-establishment" role that has helped Trump and Sanders to victory in the general election remains to be seen.
He truly seems like Churchill coming out of the wilderness.
ReplyDeleteKucinich went from Boy Wonder to Big Joke when he ran for the presidential nomination in 2004. Well, everybody thought W. had clay feet. Even Al Sharpton pretended to be a candidate that year (and why am I not surprised?). He mistook fame in one state, even the Mother of Presidents state, for fame nationwide. He has to be rated at least even money against Cordray in Ohio, ainna? Cordray was the not-Elizabeth-Warren choice Obama made to run the consumer protection department she invented and that Comrade Donald is busily decommissioning. Will Warren back Cordray?
ReplyDeleteDoes your governor, who still looks like a high school junior, want to run for president in 2020?
Yes it still sounds like he wants to run.
DeleteHowever, if Kucinich has turned the governor's mansion into a homeless shelter, the high school junior may have some explaining to do about his replacement. The governor did defeat Trump in the primary. Other than their names beginning in K, they don't have that much in common.
It seems Kucinich is Croat whereas Kasich is Czech. Had either or both been Slovak, it would be of much greater interest in my family!
