Kucinich May Seek Re-Election in Another State
Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) "is rumored to be interested in moving out of Ohio to seek re-election to Congress from Washington State's new 10th district," the Daily Caller reports.

Said Kucinich aide Nathan White: "After people found out that Congressman Kucinich's district could be eliminated or substantially altered in congressional redistricting by the Ohio Legislature's Republican majority, Congressman Kucinich received requests from people in twenty states, including Washington State, encouraging him to move and run in their area."

3. Not meaning any disrespect to Rep. Kucinich...
...but somehow I suspect that Washington State might be able to find someone qualified for the job, without having to import someone from another state.

6. Indiana's next door to Ohio - he wouldn't have to move very far ..
.. and, with all due respect, I think we have more nutbag Republicans needing replaced than WI does :-)

5. I doubt Kucinich would seriously consider something like this.
Nor would the average voter.

8. He seems pretty desperate to stay in congress
Why not just move to a different district within Ohio? That would make more sense
