The Hill: Kucinich to challenge fellow Ohio Dem

3. This is a big mistake -- for both of them.

They should make a deal. We have so few progressives in Congress and this could make it difficult to get either of them elected. If nothing else, this is a waste of progressive energy to say nothing of money. Surely one of them could run for a different office.

They are both so good.

I always vote, but one time two good candidates -- two of my friends were competing for an office. I was very busy, but more than anything, I did not want to vote because it would mean voting against one or the other of them. So I stayed home.

It was a good thing that I didn't vote because each of them called me after the election to ask whether I had voted for them.

It's an awful feeling -- to have to choose between two good candidates both of whom would do a great job. It can cause people to sit out the election.
