An Error of Comedies
Ohio is an interesting mixture of red and blue staters. In the South and in the farmlands of the state are the red staters; in the dying industrial North and the college towns dwell the blue staters. The red staters and the blue staters seem to split control of Ohio for periods of years at a time. Until recently, a red state, Ohio has just recently decided to become a flaming turquoise.
A state that has bred more Presidents than any other state with the possible exception of Virginia -- a Taft and a McKinley, a Garfield and a Hayes, two Harrisons (we claim them both although Virginia makes a weak claim by birth to William Henry), a Grant and a Harding -- now breeds a different caliber of leader. The great William Howard Taft bequeaths a distant descendant, ex-Governor Bob Taft, clear proof that greatness cannot simply be passed on by procreation. The state elects a dangerous lightweight in Sherrod Brown to the US Senate. And, Ohio's favorite son does it one more time. Don Quixote is running for President in '08. Yet again?
It should be abundantly clear to a normal person that Dennis Kucinich is not electable to the US Presidency. I don't say this because I totally reject his antiwar politics. I say it because it is true. Most liberals and Democrats (sometimes I like to be repetitive) agree with the statement. Heck, the only person who probably disagrees is Dennis himself. But, then again, Dennis never could claim to be normal.
I could list many reasons why Dennis is unelectable. (In fact, I can even list one positive attribute -- with him you know exactly what kind of screwed-up policies you are going to get. For example, he would not run away from his unique qualification as the only candidate in the race to have experience at running a governmental entity into bankruptcy.)
I could go on and on but I want you to come back to this site, so I won't. Just one overarching reason why Dennis is unelectable. Dennis is just plain icky!
