Kucinich Will Run For Congress Again
Representative Dennis Kucinich says he'll likely run for Congress again even as he seeks the Democratic presidential nomination.

Kucinich, a Cleveland Democrat, says it's his plan to file for re-election to the seat he first won in 1996.

State law allows candidates to run for two offices simultaneously. He must file by January Second for re-election to Congress.

1. Well, this has got to be a boost of confidence to his Prez run.
Not!

Dean is fully committed to his run.

2. Nice.
You prefer he sit down and shut up, too?

Kucinich is still employed by the people in Cleveland. You know, the city with a population about the same as the state of Vermont?

6. So is Dennis!
sheesh!! Why do some supporters have to be so critical of the other candidates?? Like it makes you look better in supporting yours by bashing everyone else??
I don't think so.

9. So true!
<<Why do some supporters have to be so critical of the other candidates?? Like it makes you look better in supporting yours by bashing everyone else??>>

I couldn't agree more! We are all Democrats, and none of us are 100% sure who will be the nominee, so we ought to respect all of the candidates because one of them could be the one we will be voting for in Nov 04.

13. Honestly, Lark, you should feel embarrassed by some of the things you say
They do you absolutely no credit at all because they're both spiteful and superficial.

Did you ever look for a job? Which is better, to have only one possible offer, or to have two?

No matter how committed one might be to getting Job A, any working person with good sense would want a second string to their bow. Only members of the wealthy elite like Dr Dean can afford to be 'above' such mundane considerations as putting food on the table.

5. DK was on Crossfire today...
but only caught the last 10 minutes...darn!!

Tucker asked did he think he wouldn't win because he's running for both Pres & Congress & Dennis mentioned that Lieberman did the same thing & he won the election!!!!

I love it!!!

GO Dennis!!!!

8. DK is not in this for his ego...
He's in it to make a difference. If it was ALL about ego, he'd forget about the congressional seat. He would NEVER let his constituents down like that. People may think this is corny, but, the man really loves the people he serves.

15. Dennis got the last word in
before they ended the segment & Tucker didn't respond...(little weasel) sorry....just had to say that...will really enjoy watching Tucker eat those shoes ( his comment about Hillarys book)...but he did mention he can talk with his mouth full...I believe it LOL

From the bit I saw , I thought Dennis did quite well...he had that Rush clone -JD Hayworth as the rw talking point....sorry he's from my state....

Dennis kept his cool- was earnest & sincere but also had a sense of humor & kidded JD that when he (DK) was elected Pres he'd make him (JD) ambassador to France !!! (think I missed the French bashing part)

Peace
