That lousy gerrymander they did. Combined Cincinnati and Toledo together, to make sure that Ohio lost a Democratic representative in Congress, one way or the other. We need both of these guys in Congress or else Dennis would be good for governor, but he's really so involved with D.C. and the various initiatives he's committed to that he can't leave.

There was some hope he'd move west but he had to stay for his people there. They depend on him and either way, this election will hurt the people of Ohio.

pretty unpopular, DK might actually be able to win something statewide. Ohio hasn't had a progressive Democrat governor in a long time. I hope he'll consider it.

I wonder if Ohio is split in half politically as a number of other states are. Kucinich also faced a primary challenge during the 2008 election season and had to focus on that front instead of his run for POTUS at the end.

Such levelheadedness in this video. We definitely could use another Kucinish or two floating around

Perhaps he should do some kind of road show or initiative with Ron Paul. There is a lot of commanlity there.

9. He did in 2008. But if you're shilling for Ron Paul, you're in the wrong place. Check the TOS.

That is cause for banning, as well as spewing libertarian, etc. tripe. This site is for supporting liberals, progressives and Democratic Party values. None of the stuff the Paul crowd pushes. Otherwise, as I see you just signed up, welcome to DU.

Dennis is one of the casualties we're seeing along with Rand Paul and others. If you're not a total corporate, globalist scumbag, you're history.
