KUCINICH HEDGING BETS
 |
James Joyner | Tuesday, July 8, 2003 |
Dennis Kucinich plans to seek re-election to his congressional seat while also pursuing the Democratic nomination. I find this practice objectionable, since it means that voters will have to pay for a special election if the candidate wins both elections (unlikely in this case), but it is perfectly legal under Ohio law.

It is also legal, iirc, in Texas. You must admit it's the best of both worlds. If you win, you win. And hey, even if you lose you win!

Since I already declared my intention to run for president under the Democratic party earlier (either here or on another blog), and because I hate to be outdone by one of my competitors, I too shall declare my candidacy for Kucinich's Congressional seat.
...and I am mighty disappointed that the media has not paid any attention to my declarations. It seems as if Joe Biden is getting more press than I am. Aaaargh!
