Dennis Kucinich may give a whole new meaning to the term "Political Refugee"... or would have, if the Wisconsin and Indiana state Dem legislators hadn't done it first. (and Texas Democrats, years ago)

At least Kucinich will make it official.

Political Refugee

Dennis Kucinich is "examining the idea of running for Congress here in Washington State next year," the New York Times reports. That's unusual because Kucinich is already in Congress, as a representative from Ohio:


Given Ohio's loss of two House seats, his district is likely to disappear when new map lines are drawn.

But Washington is gaining a seat, and Mr. Kucinich figures his aggressive brand of antiwar, pro-working class politics could sell well in a solidly blue state where he has ideological allies and was popular in his White House bids in 2004 and 2008. It is a somewhat novel idea that could be summed up as: Have seniority, will travel.

Imagine leaving a declining city to seek better opportunities in a growing one, only to have your congressman follow you.

If Dennis Kucinich does leave Ohio will anyone notice or better yet even care?

Yes, the little weasel needs to leave as soon as possible.

He's one of the new nobility that is going to move his granted domain to another state. Not enough liberals in Ohio to keep him secure in office.

It shows he really does not give a damn about his constituents. Only his power and the perks that come with the office

He is probably scared to death at the prospect of having to get a real job

Seattle/Bellevue/Tacoma Liberals rule the ENTIRE state - which by square mile is a LOT more red than blue.
