Liberal Congressman Kucinich defeated in Ohio [View all] Justice wanted Mar 2012 OP

Wasn't this pretty much the expected result, though? nt MADem Mar 2012 #1

The districts were designed to take him out liberal N proud Mar 2012 #2

That, and the quality of his opponent did him in, I suspect. MADem Mar 2012 #6

You hope? Leopolds Ghost Mar 2012 #8

Whatever. MADem Mar 2012 #13

I'm hoping he doesn't go.. Eid Ma Clack Shaw Mar 2012 #9

Maybe MSNBC or CURRENT TV will offer him a one-hour show. MADem Mar 2012 #19

His opponent also ran a very negative, very dirty campaign against Kucinich. Puregonzo1188 Mar 2012 #21

Gee, wonder why that was? MADem Mar 2012 #26

100% agree... OhioChick Mar 2012 #29

Let's stop scapegoating everyone except the candidate himself. His supporters have a tendency..... Tarheel_Dem Mar 2012 #11

"Many"? Two constitutes "many" these days? Let's not get carried away. ScreamingMeemie Mar 2012 #12

"Carried Away"? Only two? You Sure? It seems like so many more. Tarheel_Dem Mar 2012 #15

It was only two. ScreamingMeemie Mar 2012 #16

Your entire post is great advice for Dennis. Tarheel_Dem Mar 2012 #20

You've yet to influence anyone. I like them both. Misrepresenting the facts is something ScreamingMeemie Mar 2012 #22

"You've yet to influence anyone." The same could be said for Dennis. Tarheel_Dem Mar 2012 #27

It could be said about Dennis, but that wasn't the point. I don't have a problem with ScreamingMeemie Mar 2012 #28

"truthful in posts is irrelevant to you". Talk about a lack of truth-i-ness. Re-read my post. Tarheel_Dem Mar 2012 #31

No scapegoating here liberal N proud Mar 2012 #14

If you want to place the blame squarely where it belongs. It's the voters. They did this! Tarheel_Dem Mar 2012 #18

This is pure horseshit. The new 9th was created mostly from Kaptur's old district eridani Mar 2012 #38

Where's the "horseshit"? We still have one helluva Democrat in that district. One, who by all..... Tarheel_Dem Mar 2012 #39

I always tend to be proactive. bigwillq Mar 2012 #43

My thoughts exactly MuseRider Mar 2012 #10

Kucinich for U.S. Trade Representative exboyfil Mar 2012 #5

And who makes that appointment and how likely do you think his name will come to the fore? MADem Mar 2012 #17

He never got much respect from the status quo got root Mar 2012 #24

Well, he's unlikely to get a Presidential appointment as a trade rep, either. MADem Mar 2012 #25

you don't shit on the President and then expect to get something from him.. frylock Mar 2012 #35

? MADem Mar 2012 #36

One of the ones I have a lot of respect for. Always out in front on the big issues. got root Mar 2012 #23
