168. Have fun trying
That's very naive believing there's much of a possibility to jump from winning one house district to winning the presidency.

I'll look to history as a guide. I don't recall the last president to come directly from the House of Representatives. Who was it? Abraham Lincoln?

Kucinich is a good guy. I agree with much of what he says, but saying the right thing is rarely enough to get elected. Getting elected to a statewide office shows he might have enough widespread appeal to get elected nationwide.

Right now I have seen absolutely no indication Kucinich could win nationwide or even statewide for that matter.
