AN Essex girl may be the first lady with a tongue stud to have set her sights on the White House. The wife of Dennis Kucinich, a left-wing Democratic congressman and 2008 presidential candidate, is a 29-year-old hippie chick from Upminster at the end of London Undergrounds District line.
Elizabeth Kucinich, née Harper, has been on the stump with her husband, a 60-year-old anti-war campaigner from Cleveland, Ohio, mingling with the likes of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama backstage at the Democratic presidential debates. Theres a kind of camaraderie, she said.
A 6ft tall willowy redhead who has been compared to Arwen Evenstar, the Lord of the Rings character, she towers over her diminutive husband. Who cares? she said in an interview. I like wearing high heels so Im used to being taller than most men I stand next to.
Nor is she bothered by their 31-year age difference. I have never noticed it at all, she said. Dennis is a very mature but young-at-heart gentleman and we complement each other.
Kucinich met her husband-to-be two years ago when she visited his office in the House of Representatives with her boss as a volunteer worker for the American Monetary Institute, an offbeat group dedicated to reforming the unjust monetary system.
It was love at first sight for both of them. Immediately after their meeting, Dennis Kucinich phoned a friend and said: Ive met her [my future wife].
He was mesmerised to receive a business e-mail from Harper with her usual signature line from Kama Sutra, one of her favourite films: Knowing love, I shall allow all things to come and go, to be as supple as the wind and take everything that comes with great courage. My heart is as open as the sky.

This opens up a whole new repertoire of pick up lines:
“If I proposed a series of far-left campaign promises about your body, would you hold it against me?”
btw - whatever happened to Kucinich’s first two wives?
I doubt even Jerry Brown would have used a peace symbol in his primary campaign banner.
“Isnt it amazing what you learn on FR?”
I’ll SAY...!!!
I never knew he HAD a wife.
Must be love....there isn’t any other explanation. She IS gorgeous, he should just go home and enjoy what he’s lucky to have and forget about being President.
Dang, coffee all over my monitor
Make that Peace AND Love. Man. Like.
Probably still recovering.
Sure there are other reasons:
US citizenship
Dropping to much LSD
One too many bong hits
Woo oo ike hries wi at?

Thanks anyway, I think I've already read enough!
If the Bellamy Brothers ever come out with that, I'm ditching my MP3 player.
Is that you, Barney Frank?
Suicide perhaps?
"Are you here for the whole campaign...?"
He’s straight?
Apparently as straight as any 'Rat can be.
"And my brain is as uncluttered as an inflated balloon..."
Excellent job on her hair color, and she looks very pretty in the green dress.
Hey honey,since you’ve got the vantage point up there can you see all my supporters coming yet? No not yet Dennis !!!
Kookcinich can reach across the aisle and maybe Ron Paul will be his running mate, they can call it the ‘KooK-Kook Ticket’.
