Has Ohio's 10th Congressional District seen enough of Kucinich yet?
Could the voters produce a Republican sweep thorough enough to whisk away Dennis Kucinich?
It's hard to imagine. It's harder yet to get one's hopes up. But a very credible Republican candidate is running against Cleveland's unrepresentative representative this year, and residents of the 10th Congressional District should be falling all over themselves to elect him.
His name is Peter J. Corrigan. He's a businessman with expertise in the financial side of companies and -- of all things -- physics. In other words, he's not stupid.
He's not a Democrat, and although that would be an oddity in Ohio's 10th District, it wouldn't be a first. Republican Martin Hoke held the seat from 1992 until 1996, when Kucinich completed the most unlikely of political comebacks to take it away from him.
The candidate who is representative of the district is Corrigan. The oddity is the incumbent.
A mere 17 years after Clevelanders banished him from office for sinking their city into default, Kucinich headed off to Congress. And there he has lingered -- at least when not running for president -- ever since.
When he was first elected, the not entirely tongue-in-cheek assessment was that with 434 adults to supervise him in the House of Representatives, how much damage could Dennis do?
Besides, the 10th was a solidly Democratic district and if its voters chose to express their eccentricity by sending to Congress a fellow with a long history of wandering off into the political, fiscal and ideological weeds, well, what was the harm?
And for a long time, those analysts were right.
Since arriving at the House 13 years ago, Kucinich has sponsored 104 bills -- some of them containing some pretty wacky stuff.

Don't be silly.
I don't have time to actually do my job and give all these TV and radio interviews, now do I?
Dennis Gives it Up for Ride on Air Force One!
Dennis got to pretend he was President for a couple of hours and in exhange, he flip flopped on the healthcare reform vote.
Unlike the senators from Nebraska, Louisiana and Florida, Dennis refused to take anything else in exhange for his vote despite the fact that the people of his district are suffering more than most.
Just another example of how Congressman Kucinich works for you!
A Gay "Superstar"
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, whose political stances are attracting support from an array of liberal and celebrity donors, yesterday came out in support of same-sex marriage.
Kucinich's strong backing of gay marriage appears to mark a change in his thinking. As a candidate for Congress in 1996, he said he opposed a change in law to allow same-sex marriages.
But yesterday, at a forum for presidential contenders sponsored by a gay-rights group, the Cleveland Democrat said "our internal polling showed that most people think I'm gay so it just made sense to flip flop again. Besides, who's keeping track?"
Patrick Shepherd, president of Cleveland Stonewall Democrats (a gay-bi-lesbian alliance), said "from a congressional-record point of view, Dennis Kucinich has been a superstar on our issues."
