THE WEEKLY STANDARD has obtained the results of a private poll conducted last night in Ohio-10, the Cleveland-area district held for seven terms by Democrat Dennis Kucinich. Kucinich has been widely viewed as safeeven though he fell short of 60 percent of the vote in 2008, and the district has a Cook PVI of only Dem +8.
The poll (based on a small but respectable 319 person sample, with a margin of error of 5.6 percent, weighted to eliminate gender bias) shows Kucinich ahead of his opponent, Peter Corrigan, by only 4 percent. The profile of undecided voters suggests they may break for Corrigan by about 3-2. And Corrigan's 4 percent deficit turns into a 4 percent Corrigan lead when voters are given information on Kucinich's ties to corrupt local Democratic leaders, and on Kucinich's support for illegal immigration. These are signs that undecided voters could be pushed to go Corrigans way. Furthermore, Corrigan is running even with Kucinich among those who've already requested their absentee ballot, as early voting has already started in Ohio.
Corrigan is up on radio, but not on TV. He is doing direct mail to 150,000 households with persuadable voters. He has little cash on handbut so does Kucinich (Kucinich had $88K to Corrigan's $35K at the end of the last filing period, and Kucinich outraised Corrigan in the 3rd quarter by only $30K).
Could be an interesting race for people to consider last minute contributions toor even IE expenditures, perhaps focused on national security, where Kucinichs militant hostility to American victory abroad, and to supporting the troops, is probably at odds with his blue-collar constituents.
HE HE HE....
Couldn’t happen to a nicer munchkin.
The TP caucus is growing stronger by the hour, day, week and month.. (Jaws theme)..
How can we also get rid of Marcy Kaptur? Someone said on Rich Iott’s Facebook page: “Dear marcy kaptur, I once played a civil war soldier from the south in a reenactment. Does that make me sympathetic to slave owners????”
He should be. He is such an ahole.
He is one of the Fallujah 4!!!!!!
Treasonous Bastard!!! He used his position to get Code Pink into Fallujah to give $600,000 of cash and supplies, to be used against our troops!!!!!!!
I’ll say one good thing about Kookcinich.
He is honest in that he makes no secret of what he is, as opposed to the pack of Blue Dogs, who talk conservative at home, and vote liberal in DC.
Who in their right mind would ever vote for that little psychotic twerp Kucinich?
Do ANY of you KNOW his district??? I do....it’s a bunch of DUMBASSES....except for Strongsville, they are HICKS, POLISH, UNION IDIOTS!
Kucinich opponent, Peter Corrigan, has an impressive business resume, is telegenic and super smart (I mean, physics!). If he’s not elected, Ohio must be populated with a bunch of masochists who actually like being represented by a corrupt, little clown.

The problem is like many districts, it was drawn to protect his seat and the status quo. It is consists of just the right amount of the City and Democrat leaning suburbs to keep him in his seat.
Much like many people in Manhattan who never knew anybody that voted for Reagan. I know very few people who voted for Kucinich however, there are many many people who are just stupid Democrats who do not know any better.
Dennis and wife---and no, he is not standing in a hole.
In India on a peace mission, Mrs K met somebody with a tongue stud and
later had her own implanted a bar with two delicate balls on either side.
If he wins it is more due to the disgust most have with Dennis.
The district gave President Bush 42% in each of 2000 and 2004, so not everyone in the district is a “dumbass.” Kucinich is way to the left of his constituents (especially after he switched from 100% pro-life to 100% pro-abortion in 2003).
Thanks,

Looks like that pretty redhead’s little boy spit up on her dress!
Dennis has a great career resume.
From taking Cleveland into bankruptcy as mayor (that’s when I moved out of the state) to whackjob leftist Congress critter.
Jobs move out, and the unproductive multiply.
I guess they get what they deserve.
Kindly explain why you included “Polish” along with “hicks” and “idiots” in your post.
But first read up a bit about the Polish Army in exile during WWII, particularly the Polish 1st Armored Division. Many of those folks settled in the US. It will give you some hint as to the character of the Polish people.
And, no, I’m not Polish. But I do take offense to your post.
I would absolutely love to see the reaction by the DUmmies if Kookcinich gets the boot.
