Kucinich press release: Dennis facing “toughest re-election”

The people of Cleveland’s west side and the surrounding suburbs may have finally had enough of its nutty congressman, erstwhile boy-mayor Dennis Kucinich.In addition to the much-anticipated Ohio presidential primary, Buckeye Staters will vote in statewide and congressional contests as well. And Kucinich, who a month ago was running (not very well) for president, is now fighting, again, for his political life.From the Cleveland Plain Dealer Politics Blog:Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s campaign acknowledged today that the six-term congressman faces his strongest opposition to date in his race to hold onto his 10th Congressional district seat.In a press release about a campaign appearance, spokesman Andy Juniewicz says Kucinich is “facing the toughest re-election campaign in nearly 12 years in the U.S. House.”Kucinich faces four candidates in the March 4 Democratic primary: Cleveland Councilman Joe Cimperman; Barbara Ferris, founder/president of the International Women’s Democracy Center; Rosemary Palmer, former teacher and journalist; and North Olmsted’s Thomas O’Grady. Cimperman seems to be Kucinich’s strongest foe.Related posts:Cleveland Marathon: The Directors Cut Kucinich congressional re-election trouble Kucinich using Homeland Security to investigate opponentUFO sighter Kucinich questions Bush’s mental stabilityExit Kucinich Technorati tags: Kucinich democrats elections 2008 politics Ohio Cleveland Congress Joe Cimperman
