Dennis Kucinich At HEMPFEST 2011

You all do know that Dennis' "district" has been done away with and he is a man with no contingency left, correct?

He's deciding where to land next for another run for his re-election to the HOR. He's mumbled something about the Washington State area...maybe to catch up with that UFO he saw out there a few years ago that was calling to his heart and mind.

So, if you all really want him to represent you, write him a letter stating why he should move to your district and how you will lend him your support, both financially and with your votes!

I'm sure he'll entertain ANY serious offers!

Oh, Dennis! As you leave Ohio and happen to meet Lebron along the way, tell him to frack himself, too!

Dennis would be fine company for Ron Wyden, too!

OR-1: Dennis Kucinich for Congress?!
Story by Kari Chisholm
July 28, 2011

For months now, there's been a bizarre sort of soap opera going on just north of the Columbia River. It seems that Congressman Dennis Kucinich - a Democrat from Cleveland, Ohio - is considering a run for Congress from Washington state.

Why? Because Ohio is losing a congressional seat in reapportionment, and it seems that it's Kucinich's district that's going away. And apparently, he has fond memories of the time he claims to have seen a UFO at Shirley MacLaine's home in Washington state.

Well, now that Oregon has a vacant seat in Congress, could Kucinich come here to seek his political fortune?

That's what Political Wire's Taegan Goddard suggests:

"Could this be the new district Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) is looking to run from?"

I checked in with the state Elections Division. Could Kucinich run here? The answer is yes. The only requirements come from the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 2:

No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

That's right. As long as Dennis is a resident of Oregon on the day of the election, he could be the new Congressman from Oregon's First.

I tend to agree with David Nir of Daily Kos Elections, who calls this "an awful possibility". Kucinich is a nutball.

What do you think?

Trivia Update: The University of Minnesota Library's Eric Ostermeier notes that no one has ever accomplished what Kucinich may be about to attempt - winning back-to-back congressional elections after moving from one state to another.

Having followed Dennis for MANY years, he is just a teenie bit...how shall I put this delicately...odd.

I could not trust his judgement during a catastrophic crisis.

My opinion.

But I love the man as a fellow human being!
