Could Kucinich win a governor’s race in Ohio?

[TheFarseer]

I keep seeing all these Kucinich for president threads, but the fact is it would be extremely improbably for a member of the House of Reps to jump right to the White House. He’s also remembered by most as the little elfish guy that wanted a Ministry of Peace. If he could win the governor’s house in Ohio, he would suddenly become a great candidate for president and would command a fresh look from everyone that wrote him off. Now, would it be realistic for him to run for governor and win in Ohio and what are the odds that might happen?

4. I wish Rep's terms weren't 2 years

so that they could run for other stuff and not lose their seat. If terms were every three years, they could easily run for Senate, Governor and not be out in the cold if they lost.

3. He would win Cleveland by a majority

All he would need to do is make a good showing in the rest of the state and most definitely a good showing in Cincinnati

Dennis can't fix that singlehandedly.
