    Default Yet ANOTHER Dem congressman flees his state - but officially this time

    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.
    "The social contract exists so that everyone doesn’t have to squat in the dust holding a spear to protect his woman and his meat all day every day. It does not exist so that the government can take your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what to do with them." - Instapundit.com

    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.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    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

    and I thought WA Gov't couldn't get more f'd up.

    Seattle/Bellevue/Tacoma Liberals rule the ENTIRE state - which by square mile is a LOT more red than blue.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
