now he's a squirrel who works for Fox and RT. Ick. Cordray is a good guy; Kucinich isn't, not any more.

When it seemed he went over to the dark side, I just shook my head sadly. Another hero down.

I wonder what this is going to do to his marriage. His wife is a smoking-hot British lady who married him at the height of his notoriety as a progressive thorn in GWB's side. Does she support Kucinich's sea-change, I wonder?...

I'm sure selling out to the Russians has been very lucrative for both of them.

Some other type of elf, or a hobbit, or a goblin, or what? He's obviously some sort of annoying sentient humanoid, but hell if I can figure out what.

The voters of Ohio made their decision. I see no need to either rejoice or not do so. Dennis Kucinich was unable to make his case to the electorate as to why he should be their candidate for the office. It's all pretty simple. While his history may be a mixed bag, who here has put themselves out to run for and serve in an office of any type?

Gloat all you want if that makes you feel good about yourselves.

he is and are not blindly voting for someone based on who he was in a past life.

BTW - the idea that people cannot criticize politicians because they themselves have never run for office is bullshit. By that “logic” we shouldn’t criticize tRump. Stop being a scold.

Like another current career politician he has always been more about carving out a niche audience. I was usually just fine with that. Then, like other said career politician, he simply sold out.

Sad to see as there has always been a reason to respect both until their ego’s ran themselves over and they became tools for the right. But their personal bank accounts are growing. That’s what matters.

Who cares about the citizens rather than about the corporations. Rich Cordrary is a good man who has a history of fighting for the rights of people.
