| Kucinich launches another presidential bid | |
| 2006-12-13 | |
 He did so well last time...Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich has launched his second bid for president. Kucinich, who was also in the 2004 race, says he was inspired to run because he disagrees with the way some of his fellow Democrats are handling the war in Iraq. He says the party is expected to get the U.S. out of Iraq. He told a crowd today in Cleveland that Democrats were put back in power to "bring some sanity back to our nation."

| #8 Is there some rule now that you have to be totally nutso to run for Prez on the Democratic ticket? No, but it really helps you get support from the base. |

| #6 Dennis the Menace, former mayor who led Cleveland into filing for bankruptcy, is remembered by his union and welfare supporters for removing all of the tax incentives for companies like Sohio, Republic Steel, US Steel and told them "we don't need no stinkin' companies like you !". Well, they shut down and Sohio closed their refineries, ....left the offices only. |

| #5 In Harry Turtledove's terrific WorldWar alt-history series, Stassen actually does become President in 1965. Perhaps Harry can pen another one in which Gore wins in 2000, the US surrenders to Al Qaeda, and Kucinich becomes Pres under the Caliphate's leniency policy. I'm sure he would love the job. |

| #1 Stassen renamed Kucinich? For those too young to remember or who just never noticed his prez runs... Harold Stassen (April 13, 1907 – March 4, 2001) - was the 25th Governor of Minnesota from 1939 to 1943 and a later perennial candidate for other offices, most notably and frequently President of the United States |
