The redistricting deliberately disenfranchised the entire northern tier of Ohio. "Moving on" is not an option for those people. Marcy Kaptur was basically given a safe seat in return for almost every other Dem in Ohio losing theirs. The fact that some here on DU are celebrating Kucinich's loss should tell us everything we need to know about the direction things are headed in November.
