BOSTON (Reuters) - He may be trailing in his bid for president, but Ohio Democrat and bachelor Dennis Kucinich could soon be king of the lonely hearts after describing his ideal first lady at a recent debate.

A political Web site, www.PoliticsNH.com, said on Friday it has begun accepting personal ads for the 57-year-old candidate, who pleaded for an outspoken, dynamic mate during a Wednesday forum on women's issues with other Democratic presidential contenders in New Hampshire.

"As a bachelor, I get a chance to fantasize about my first lady," Kucinich said. "I would definitely want someone who would not just be there by my side, but be a working partner because I think we're in a day and age when partnerships are imperative to making anything happening in the world."

"And I certainly want a dynamic, outspoken woman who was fearless in her desire for peace in the world and for universal single-payer health care and a full employment economy," the four-term congressman told the forum. "If you are out there call me."

One woman has already answered his call. Gina Marie, a 33-year-old Democrat from New Jersey, was the first to post her credentials on the site.

PoliticsNH.com said it will let its readers vote on the ideal mate for Kucinich, and if he agrees, it will fly the lucky lady to New Hampshire and treat the couple to dinner.

Well, he may not win the Democrat nomination, but with a line like this it sounds like he'd make a great Miss America.

I'm lonely, BUT NOT THAT LONELY!!!
Besides, at age 47 I'm probably way over his age limit.

This should be great stuff for Leno & Letterman:

"Did you hear the Democrat Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is looking for a First Lady?"

Hillary has already said she may be interested, but isn't going to announce it yet.

Barbara Boxer, has already sent in her application. Under hobbies she listed: 'Loves second fiddle'

Diane Feinstein the former 'Mayor-natrix' from San Francisco said: "dennis? He just needs a good strong woman to whip him into shape."

Rosie O'Donnell has been approached and said: 'First lady? Sure why not? As long as there ain't not sex with him.....just like Hillary, right?

Oprah was also approached and said she "could not afford the cut in pay and besides, that house is too small."

pah-dum-dum

LOL!

If Kucinich does get a woman, it sounds like it would be a lesbian union.

"As a bachelor, I get a chance to fantasize about my first lady," Kucinich said

Bill Clinton had no comment, but was noticed with a slight smirk on his face.

So is this little number...

LOL
Great

Dennis, your search is over. Bon appetit!

[LisaMalia]

Where'd you find such a flattering picture of Hillary?

This guy makes Sharpton look like a serious candidate.

He continues to be an absolute embarassment to the City of Cleveland. His legacy was to create an entire new section of the bankruptcy code- Chapter 9 for municipal bankrutpcy- during his stewardship of our city.
