Default Kucinich

Occasionally he did stupid things like defending the gerrymander that is responsible for the loss of his Congressional seat, but on the whole he was one of the few voices of reason in Congress. That alone, of course, means all the Establishment politicians and publications have to dismiss him as "crazy".

He will be missed. Hopefully he'll find someplace where his views are more likely to fit into the mainstream and run for Congress there in 2014. We need him.

Digby has more.

Locally, people really didn't like it that Kucinich ran for President twice. Once, fine. Twice, c'mon already. That said, NE Ohio has a nasty habit of hating success, along with a nasty habit of kicking people when they're down.

I met Kucinich at a fundraiser once. I really liked him. I wish I could get a representative as liberal as he was, but it's not going to happen here.
