Sure, people disagreed with Kucinich on some issues, but as the article points out, he was one of the few true anti-war voices in congress. There is tremendous value in that. I am sure Kaptur will continue to be a fine congresswoman. Maybe she will even speak out against some of the war mongering and lost rights we are experiencing. But I wish we hadn't been forced to make this choice.

By the way, her opponent in the General election is none other than Joe the (not really) Plumber. Hope she kicks his butt to the curb.
