Kucinich Loses Ohio Race
2012-03-07
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who won a national following among liberals in two colorful but unsuccessful runs for president, was defeated by fellow Ohio Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur, leaving his political future in question.

Mr. Kucinich has visited Washington State, prompting speculation that he might run for Congress from there, and his campaign has declined to rule out that option. It would be a highly unusual move, but Washington leans Democratic and there is an open congressional seat in a Seattle-area district.

#6  #5 ...Kucinich has been a factor in Northeast Ohio politics for more than thirty years, and his district was about as reliable as it could get for a left wing liberal. His defeat could be a sign of something bad good about to happen...

#4   In 2011 Kaptur introduced HR 1489 to re-instate Glass-Steagall

Surprised, but I actually agree w this - consumer / commercial banking SHOULD be firewalled from investment banking as a risk management strategy.

#3  In 2011 Kaptur introduced HR 1489 to re-instate Glass-Steagall and rein in the banking industry. She has introduced similar legislation before, and those measures have gone nowhere.

#2  Sterling credentials all:

She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1968 and a Master of Urban Planning from the University of Michigan in 1974.[3] She did post-graduate study in urban planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1981.

Kaptur served on the Toledo-Lucas County Plan Commissions from 1969 to 1975 and was director of planning for the National Center for Urban Ethnic Affairs (1975–1977) founded by the late Msgr. Geno Baroni. She later served as a domestic policy advisor during President Jimmy Carter's Administration.

#1  The Washington Democrats have already let it be known that they are doing just fine, and need no help, especially from a fruitcake carpetbagger.
