Dennis Kucinich is a personal hero of mine and has been since he was the mayor of Cleveland, Ohio where my parents lived at that time. I do not find him unrealistic. To me he is a perfect example of a good old fashioned knee-jerk liberal. Also He is fiscally responsible.
I do think redistricting is a tool the Republicans willl use to their advantage (as do Dems when they are in control) Liberals will be targets whenever possible. Weiner is a target for being redistricted out of office. As he has plans to run for Mayor, I will not be too bothered by it. Things wax and wane. If Kucinich is districted out of office, it will feel to me like losing a good friend. During the Iraq war he used his one minute speech EVERY DAY to speak out against the war, to talk about the financial cost, and to call out the names of the service members who were killed. His voice is needed in Washington.
Smooches,
Keri
