Ohio just lost 2 seats. With the entire process in Ohio controlled by Republicans, they will probably squeeze out his seat.

Hopefully they'll squeeze out some blue dogs instead.

2. This is another reason why...
...the size of the house needs to double or triple +++.

To have a better representation in congress, we need more representatives. Duh!

3. Blue Dogs and Re-Pubic-Rats are easy to squeeze out
They're tapered at the end.

4. It's downright depressing what has happened in Ohio.
Sherrod Brown will also have a tough re-election campaign.

I wouldn't count Kucinich out, though. He is respected by many libertarian/moderate Republican types. Hopefully they will be more motivated to come out and vote in a Presidential election year.

5. The issue isn't that he won't have supporters. The issue is he might not have a district.
They could easily remove his district and split his district many ways into the surrounding districts. Republicans totally control Ohio redistricting.

6. he will still have his supporters
unless the republican plan is to kill off the supporters on the ground. Dennis is one of a kind and even though hes very progressive, he loved by a lot of libertarians/moderate republicans and is in good favor with republicans. Remove his district and he will just run again in 2012 against a less popular candidate. Anti establishment is the flavor of the season and this favors him
