Kucinich Wins Endorsement, Kiss From Date

BY KATE McCANN Associated Press Writer

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- A much-watched first date for presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich ended with kisses on the cheek and an endorsement.

"Gina, we'll talk," Kucinich told Gina Marie Santore after the two had breakfast Thursday with a gaggle of reporters and photographers nearby.

A political Web site, PoliticsNH.com, chose the New Jersey woman over nearly 80 other contestants for a date with the twice-divorced Ohio congressman. He had joked recently about what he wanted in a potential first lady.

Kucinich, 57, told reporters Santore's endorsement was more significant than Al Gore's backing of front-runner Howard Dean "and based on actual discussion."

The two met Thursday morning in the lobby of a downtown hotel and later discussed health care, medical malpractice and prescription drugs over oatmeal at a restaurant.

Santore, 34, of Maple Shade, N.J., called herself a lifelong Democrat. She said she works as a confidential aide to the Camden County sheriff in southern New Jersey and lives with her boyfriend. Kucinich attracted her attention, she said, because she found his views "intoxicating."

Asked if there would be a second date, Santore said, "I guess we're going to have to consult the schedulers."

Buried in all the hoopla about Kucinich having a first date with the winner of the national First Lady search, and getting a kiss her, is this little factoid well down in the article:

"Santore . . . lives with her boyfriend."

Ah those Democrats. Ah, those Clinton family values!

[Kenton]

Boy, the lengths some guys will go to to get a date.

[ken5050]

Pinging Ted Kennedy and Chris Dodd..

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Where I grew up, going out on a date and getting a kiss from a girl living with someone else would be described as "cruisin' for a bruisin'"!

[AppyPappy]

This guy is a stereotypical geek.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that the "winner" of this idiotic matchmaking contest was a 34 year-old tramp from New Jersey who probably plays herself in cameo appearances on "The Sopranos."

[squidly]

Ladies....... he's available.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

And we all know what happens to Bada Bing girls when they fool around on their boyfriends!

He should have no trouble with dinner conversation:

"Hi,I'm Dennis the Menace and I'm divorced twice.I've also single handedly brought the city of Cleveland to it's knees financially as Mayor.I'm running for President because as a democrat,this kind of background easily qualifies me,so....how about being my first...I mean third lady?"

I'd rather be a spinster forever. Can't imagine waking up next to that thing...and listening to the drivel that comes out of his mouth.

Were your imagination channeled to a productive purpose, you could be rich.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Cruel. Very cruel. But accurate!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I'm kind of surprised more people aren't focusing on the fact that the woman who sought the date, and speculated about a second date, is living with another man, and that Kucinich agreed to go out with her.


I don't think that as recently as 10 years ago we would have seen a presidential candidate of a major party, however marginal he might be, engaging in this kind of behavior.

[Prime Choice]

Considering his choices for girlfriends come from Democratic stock, I'd say he could do worse. A lot worse!

[ladyjane]

Yuck. She kissed him?
