Kucinich drops out.

[More Than A Feeling]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3155002

This is a surprise to me. I thought he'd stay in all the way, the same as in 2004.

[sunonmars]

1. I'd forgotten he was still there

[gateley]

3. I know all your fellow DUers who gave their hearts and souls to him will find

your tasteless post hysterically funny.

What a cruel thing to say.

[AlCzervik]

9. just another person to ignore.

[Individualist]

87. Consider it done!

:thumbsup:

[DangerDave921]

13. It's hardly cruel eom

Kucinich has been a non-factor since Day 1 in terms of polling and votes.

[gateley]

28. But people have cared passionately about him and his message. It IS cruel

to be flip at a time when they must be so very disappointed.

[bdamomma]

105. Yes, Gateley a few of us know how it feels when your candidate

leaves,it is not the best feeling. I commend all of Dennis's supporters who supported him. But Dennis may need your help again in his own state, he is up for re election and up against 4 other people who want his seat, now is the time for his supporters to support him cause we all know how he supports us. Dennis is a good guy.

[LanternWaste]

61. Nor is it cruel to have a mixed...

Nor is it cruel to have a mixed drink front of a recovering alcoholic... or dance on a grave, or call the ideal candidate for many people ineffectual in so many terms. None of it's cruel-- it's too fucking stupid and brainless to be cruel.

No, it's not cruel-- it's just stupid, puerile and petty. But on the other hand, I imagine it's quite self-validating, too.

[DangerDave921]

115. Exactly

May be petty and tasteless, but it's not cruel.

I put a high threshhold on what cruel is.

[rhett o rick]

68. It isn't only about polling and delegates and money. It's about getting a message out

that your MSM won't tell. Neither will your main stream candidates.

[Rhiannon12866]

116. That's exactly what DK said on Air America last week...

The MSM isn't covering his campaign, unless it's to say that he's not getting enough support...:eyes:

And that the MSM is successfully choosing our candidates for us...:grr:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

83. Yeah, that's why he won the Candidate Fun Run here

and a couple of online polls of independent voters. Some "non-factor".

[Adelante]

50. You're like some forever asshole

Unbelievable.

[rhett o rick]

71. Or a just plain asshole. nm

[Fire Walk With Me]

86. Then the MSM and the money-oriented electoral process have done their job well.

[AlCzervik]

2. gah!

;(

[LostinVA]

7. It's Hillary's fault!

I personally think all of the candidates should have hung in there until Super Tuesday.

[AlCzervik]

12. i wish he could have stayed in, i love Dennis and it just makes me sad to see him drop out.

he's still on my ballot though.

[robbedvoter]

32. So the OP in the quoted thread seems to think...sigh

[Adelante]

22. Aw, Chimps

:pals:

[AlCzervik]

24. Thanks Wes and a big hug for all the DK supporters.

i'm a realist but i have to say i'm really sad.

[avaistheone1]

40. I really feel sad for our country. I think the media treated Dennis like a cheap trick.

Shame on them.

And thank you Dennis for your continued progressive work.

[UrbScotty]

4. As an Obama supporter, I hate to see Kucinich go.

If Kucinich had much shot at being a serious contender, I would've supported him 100%.

[Lucinda]

5. He's announced that he's going to be restarting his impeachment effort next Monday

the day of juniors State of the Union. :rofl:

On to bigger battles. And I LOVE his timing!

[SoFlaJet]

17. Now HE should be

the majority leader of the House of Reps instead of Pelosi-just like Dodd should take over the senate from Reid-still a lot of good things DK can do for the country and the progressive wing of the party-you know, the opposite side of Hillary

[Lucinda]

31. He will also be helping the downstream elections by doing this now

He gets attention by doing it on juniors "big day", AND we keep "Reps are really bad" in the news all the way to election day. DK is a smart guy.

[gateley]

48. Perfect! Dennis in the House, Dodd in the Senate -- we'll kick ass! nt

[Kucinich4America]

59. Those are exactly the two guys who should be heading up the next congress.

Let's get John Edwards elected and make it happen.

[ellacott]

6. He's facing some real competition for his seat

Keeping his seat may not be as easy as it's been the last few years.

[OzarkDem]

37. Meh. Dennis loves a good fight

and he is running from a position of strength in his Congressional district.

[Occam Bandage]

45. But if he drops out, he'll have an extra $350,000 to use to fight that good fight.

[OzarkDem]

62. Give up his Congressional seat? Why?

He'll keep his seat, I'm not worried. I live here. Even our county party chair agrees, none of the people running against Dennis for his Congressional seat is going to win. They're just not up to it.

He's very committed to the people in his district, he's not planning to walk away from them.

[Occam Bandage]

65. I don't think he's going to walk away from his district. Quite the opposite.

I've heard he might be in for a challenge, and I don't blame him for putting his constituents first if there's a chance his seat might be contested, either by a Democrat or a Republican.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

84. I'm so glad to hear this

I've read that he really cares about the folks in his district and does his best to help them out. I know one bozo running against him in the primary has corporate backing and doesn't even live in the district! I've sent money to his Congressional campaign and will try to do so again.

[OzarkDem]

100. Dennis' staff is the best

I work with many of them helping members of his district. He has always had the best staffers of any member of Congress I know of. Hey Marty Gelfand :hi:

Marty and a supporter

[gateley]

8. I'm so sorry. nt

[no name no slogan]

10. That sucks

But it's not unexpected

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

11. No point in voting, then.

Not for me. Don't want to choose between cancer and polio. Funny, though--a Kucinich worker called me today to contribute. I'm hoping it is too late to take him off our primary ballot so I can vote for him next Tuesday (early voting).

[LostinVA]

18. ANY of the Dems will be better than a Republican

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

82. but you don't vote for a Republican in a Democratic primary

and if I have to hold my nose and vote for someone I despise in the GE, I sure don't have to do it in the primary. I can either vote Kucinich or write "God Pity the USA" on my ballot.

[LostinVA]

94. I thought you meant the GE

[More Than A Feeling]

20. what about down-ballot?

We have an excellent chance of getting a better healthcare system (speaking of cancer and polio...), no matter who is the executive face on it, because it is originating in congress (more and better democrats!). Why? Read... "The lessons of '94":

http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?article=the_lessons_of_94

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

81. Our Feb 5 primary is only for President

all other offices will be voted on in another primary May 20.

[OzarkDem]

29. We need him back in the Ohio 10th District

we don't need the GOP to steal another Congressional seat.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

80. I've sent him money for his Congressional race

and will when I can afford to again.

[redqueen]

14. *sigh*

I saw this coming... he's got too much on his place this time around...

I'm glad he's still fighting for impeachment.

And my heart goes out to all his good supporters.

[book_worm]

15. He had to since he was coming under fire in his district and has

a challenger to his seat.

[OzarkDem]

27. Several challengers

on the Dem side, Cleveland City Councilman (and Sam Miller waterboy) Joe Cimperman, suburban mayor Tom O'Grady, and a dozen others.

[Whisp]

44. he's going to be McKinneyed.

just watch and see the foam mouthed dogs come after him now in full force for him Daring to speak openly about the pus that has infected american politics.

[More Than A Feeling]

49. I think he'll win where McKinney lost.

He didn't have an incident with the capitol hill police. That, whatever actually happened, fairly or not, end up reflecting negatively on McKinney. Dennis doesn't have anything like that.

[Whisp]

54. yet.

somewhere in the back rooms another fake incident like the Hill police is most likely brewing.

[More Than A Feeling]

57. All our congress members are surely smart enough

to have learned from McKinney how to avoid stuff like that.

[OzarkDem]

64. He has the full support of his County party chair

the Ohio Dem Congressional caucus, the Dem governor and Lt Governor, you name it.

Also, as much as he is marginalized in the presidential race, at the local level, he runs an excellent campaign. He's legendary for his campaign organization, which he has used to campaign for every Dem presidential candidate. His group is amazing.

Barkin' Larkin at the local Plain Dealer has been hounding Dennis for years and hasn't hurt him yet.

[no name no slogan]

75. That's one thing people forget about DK

He won election to the state senate in 1994, a year the Republicans annihilated the Dems nationwide.

He won election to Congress in 1996 against a tough GOP incumbent.

He's continually won re-election with support in the 70th percentile.

Dennis is a tough campaigner and knows how to win elections. This one may be a bit tougher, but I have a feeling he'll do alright.

[Whisp]

79. good info! thank you! nt

[OzarkDem]

102. All true

I helped him in 1994 and 1996. I remember getting a phone call from him one night when I was sitting in bed reading. He was asking me to volunteer, he used to recruit a lot of volunteers by calling them personally. I went down to his headquarters in this old building that used to be a Chippendales or something and he sat me down and gave me a little speech asking me to help. I told him, no problem, he didn't have to make a big appeal. They had all these precinct maps tacked on the wall, command central.

His field campaign team is so good, all the Dem presidential candidates go to them first thing to run their west side campaigns. They run an excellent shop.

[Bryan]

73. Not just one challenger, but four

He's got some fences to mend. I hope he can hold on to his seat.

[Adelante]

16. This makes me sad

Thank you, Dennis :patriot:

[avaistheone1]

19. I just want to say I appreciate everything Dennis has done and continues to do for our country.

He represents the best of democratic and progressive ideals.

[OneGrassRoot]

25. Same here. I have a lot of respect for him. n/t

[iris5426]

56. Ditto

:patriot:

[PresidentObama]

21. Dennis has bigger fish to fry and *cough* impeach.

[OzarkDem]

23. No, we need him to keep his seat in Congress

He can accomplish a lot more there.

[More Than A Feeling]

33. I agree. I was cheering during his impeachment effort that got tabled.

He was magnificent, and I am glad he will remain in the arena where he is best suited, where he has proven his ability over many terms.

[bdamomma]

106. Definitely he's a fighter alright.

I have much respect for Dennis.

[MelissaB]

26. .

Wish it could have been him. :(

[gateley]

38. I'm sorry. nt

[Occam Bandage]

30. He still has $350,000 cash on hand. Can he use that for his Congressional campaign?

If the Republicans are mounting a challenge, this might be for the best.

[robbedvoter]

36. I think so.

[Occam Bandage]

42. Well, if he's being challenged for his seat, this is good news.

[NastyRiffraff]

34. Sorry to hear that...I'm surprised too

Kucinich supporters, I feel your pain. Dennis added a lot to the conversation, as long as he was allowed to debate.

[bobthedrummer]

35. If that is a fact my vote is going to John Edwards, reluctantly, my support of Dennis

remains unchanged-if this report is a fact

[Kucinich4America]

39. The Plain Dealer is a known Kucinich hating paper

Has anybody seen any CREDIBLE confirmation of this elsewhere?

And the fact that it was posted in LBN by a 24 post hater (probable Freep) certainly doesn't convince me)

[goodhue]

46. video and audio of Dennis himself . . .

http://blog.cleveland.com/openers/2008/01/kucinich_drops_presidential_bi.html

seems to be true

[gateley]

52. There's no question after seeing that. I'll support him in any way I can in his

future endeavors.

[Kucinich4America]

58. Yeah, you're right.

Shit.... :(

Well then..... bring on CHIMPEACHMENT!!

[asthmaticeog]

41. He's panicking about his Congressional seat, and justifiably so.

He's got four challengers, one of them credible, with serious name recognition, SERIOUS downtown (read: corporate) money, and a good reputation in City Council. The fact that this credible challenger, one Joe Cimperman, is a vapidly ambitious centrist careerist with no substantive policy ideas is moot, he *could* quite possibly trounce Dennis.

[OzarkDem]

66. Tom O'Grady is the spoiler

Tom will split the anti-Dennis vote.

[More Than A Feeling]

67. Is O'Grady a secret Dennis ally, or is he likely to drop out

if necessary to allow the anti-dennis vote to coalesce?

[OzarkDem]

98. I'm not sure

I haven't talked to Tom in years. He's a nice guy, but sometimes too bipartisan, which is never a healthy thing in this area.

There's a group of George Wallace Democrats in Dennis district. Those are the ones to watch out for, including county prosecutor Bill Mason's machine. I'm not sure who Mason is backing,Cimperman or O'Grady, but he would be the one to watch out for. Dennis can handle Bill, though.

[asthmaticeog]

69. If he stays in, yeah, he'll peel off some Joe votes.

I think of the four running he's the most likely to drop out if DK is back in it full-time, though. Palmer's in it to win, and Ferris is tenacious as hell. (I like Ferris, actually, it would be neat to see her in office, just not DK's office ;))

In a perverse way, I'm loving that regional politics in Northern Ohio gets to be in GDP today. :evilgrin:

[goodhue]

43. Big thanks to Dennis for standing up for the issues

Sad to see him leave the presidential campaign.

[zulchzulu]

47. Same here

I wish he and his supporters the best in the future.

[no name no slogan]

51. In a way, this is a GREAT THING

Because now we can focus on not actually GETTING a single-payer, universal health care system, but a half-assed, corporate-friendly big-money sinkhole for more of our tax dollars (and you thought Medicare Part D was a boondoggle?)

Because now we can focus on not ENDING THIS DAMNED WAR IN IRAQ, but prolonging it by continuing to support funding. Because even if we ARE the leading cause of unrest in the country, "we broke it, so we fix it", right?

And better yet, we don't have to worry about scrapping so-called "free trade" agreements like NAFTA. We'll just alter them around the edges a bit. Because exporting a few of our jobs overseas so we can get cheap crap produced by slave labor is kind of a good thing, right?

So, instead of actually doing a complete 180° with our foreign and domestic policy, we can do a 30°! That's ALMOST a 180°! And maybe if we only do that, the Republicans will be nice to us and help us out, too!

Now, we can focus on the tiny, miniscule, hair-splitting differences in the platforms of the frontrunners, instead of asking-- no, DEMANDING-- what we REALLY want from our next president: health care for EVERYONE, an end to exploitive "free trade" agreements with dictatorships, an end to the military madness that has gripped this country for decades, an end to poverty with REAL jobs (not more McJobs, we have plenty of them), and a return to human dignity for those among us who are less fortunate.

No. Instead we'll just get more of the same, but a little kinder and gentler.

Yay mediocrity!

[Annces]

53. Watch to see who is the last woman or man standing n/t

[AndyA]

55. I'm terribly sorry to hear this.

I have a lot of respect and admiration for Dennis Kucinich.

He is a big man in many ways, and he's doing more for us than most of his fellow Dems in Congress.

In a better world, this would have never happened.

[BigDDem]

60. Was it because Bill Clinton was a meanie to him?

:rofl:

[99th_Monkey]

63. Though I can understand why DK's dropping out, this makes me very sad

I've been supporting DK in his various fights for the American people and the US Constitution as well as his race for Prez, while also somewhat supporting Edwards as a second choice. I can only hope that all DK supporters see the wisdom of now supporting Edwards, since JE seems the closest to DKs position on issues, and passion for real change in DC...but I know each will answer the call of their own conscience, as it should be.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

70. Oh, well. I'll just have to work on my penmanship. K-U-C-I-N

[Individualist]

90. You're not the only one

I've already voted for him in early primary voting and am considering writing in his name in November.

[rhett o rick]

72. Dennis never did fit in.

He is too honest. Corporate media hates that.

[WilliamPitt]

74. AP report

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2008/01/kucinich_abandons_white_house.php

[dorkulon]

89. "Kucinich said he will not endorse another Democrat in the primary."

That's rough for Obama.

[King Coal]

92. That is smart of him. He's good.

[paulk]

76. he's facing a pretty serious challenge for his House seat

this time around.

That could be why he dropped out.

[jillan]

77. Thank you Dennis for all that you brought to the Dem race for Prez.

:(

[denem]

78. Dennis has not dropped out.

His ideals will never +drop out: that the consitution is not a collection of words, that human rights are not a luxury, that the those in high office must be held fully accountability, that war is obscene, that universal public health care is moral imperative. The fight for this and more begins today, as it does every day.

I am so sorry. I know Kucinich's message can not be silenced.

[New Earth]

85. :(

too sad...

[DFW]

88. I'm OK with it

He was never going to get the nomination anyway, and it was vitally
important that he be there to make his point(s), which he did admirably.

It is equally important that his voice continue to be heard in the House.
Let it continue to be heard.

[nancyharris]

91. There is a better than even chance he will loose his House seat

by losing his district's Democratic Primary in March. He faces tough competition from local Democrats who think he has spent too much time running for President instead of taking care of his district (which is in rough shape). This more than anything is probably why he dropped out of the Presidential race.

[Yuugal]

93. Sorry Kooch fans

I started out with Kooch as my number one, then switched to Edwards when Dennis couldn't poll well anywhere. I think it will be a long time before this country is ready for the real thing. If Edwards drops out its going to be hard to choose between the bible-thumper, the corporate cheese, or just staying home and sending a message to the Pelosi wing of the party.

[dorkulon]

96. What message? "I don't care?"

Even a corporate whore Dem is better than a corporate whore Repug. Think Supreme Court, think racism, think deficit, think war, think theocracy. Even Hillary if preferable to any Republican.

[Yuugal]

97. Wrong

Just today the dems and reps are cutting a deal to give out money for "stimulus" and who doesn't get any? Poor kids! They just get to pay the 100+ billion off with their taxes when they get older but they don't get a fucking dime right now while they are hungry. I'm trying to feed 3 adults and 2 kids on my disability check and these motherfuckers think the wives of orange county need the help more?

Fuck this country and fuck the dem party. Taxation without representation is what we have here. Not one fucking dime for the poor! Hooray for dems. Please cut the bullshit about how great corpoarate dems are when compared to corporate reps. They are all evil fucking scumbags and I hope they have fun trying to pilot their fucking camels through the eye of that needle when they do the only good thing rich people ever do: fucking die!

[dorkulon]

99. I'm pretty much with you, but I still think Bush is worse by a country mile

than any Dem candidate. Seriously, you don't think Bush was worse than Clinton?

[Yuugal]

107. Seriously, yes.

Bush doesn't know I exist. Bill told me he would help my family because he grew up in a little town named hope and then went on to totally screw poor people with his slavefare reforms and NAFTA. I'm not sure there is much difference beyond that.

They both love corporate profits and war.
They are both rich.
They both will say anything to get elected and then do whatever their corporatist friends tell them to.

Here is the wealth distribution when Clinton left office. Pardon me if I'm not impressed and think he just shined us on as much as Pelosi and Reid have.

[dorkulon]

108. Again,

you're not telling me anything I don't know about Clinton. Elections in this fucked up country are about damage control. Clinton didn't suspend Habeas Corpus. Clinton didn't torture. Clinton didn't appoint fascist judges or nullify laws with signing statements. Clinton was better.

[Yuugal]

111. Vote for me because I don't suck as much

is the political choice I've always been given since my first vote in 84. Its Edwards or bust this time and if its not going to be Edwards, then I give up on America. The stimulus package I'd like is 5 one-way plane tickets on Air France, Aer Lingus, or British Airways. I still have some possessions I was able to buy during better times and if I sold everything I own I might have enough money so they would let me in.

[dorkulon]

112. That's your choice.

I've been thinking of leaving for years, actually. I just think that not voting isn't much of a protest. Most people in this country don't vote, and it doesn't seem to be working.

[nancyharris]

101. Taxation without representation?

If you are indeed supporting 5 people on a disability check, you are not paying any taxes, more than likely, you are eligible for an earned income credit.

[Yuugal]

104. my kids will be paying this debt off

We don't get the earned income credit. Thats for wage earners. Secondly, it will be my kids who will be paying this debt off. All that is happening here is the usual BS of people with money giving to themselves. If the intent is to help people hardest hit by this terrible economy then the money would go to the poor. Instead its going to go to companies so they can build cheaper plants overseas and to people who already have money.

Between the taxes I pay on energy, property taxes that get passed on to me in the form of rent increases, and NY's 8.5% tax on almost everything.......I'd bet I pay a bigger % of my money on taxes each year than most rich people do. When you don't have much money, any tax is a killer. When they are handing out checks for 300 bux to some "lucky" middle class people and ignoring the guys under the bridges, don't expect me to celebrate.

My message to Dems in office: if you think us poor voters are going to forget that you sold us down the river yet again, you are wrong. I don't understand how anyone who calls themselves a dem can go for a plan that bails out corporations and people who own houses, and leaves the poor and the homeless out in the cold. The first thing to get thrown out the door was food stamps. Thanks Nancy. I'd go and protest in front of your house but you would have me arrested for vagrancy, like you wanted to do to those code-pinkers.

Someone please tell me why this is my party anymore. Could they possibly care any less about people like me?

[nancyharris]

109. I am not sure I understand.

If you are living off a disability check then the "terrible economy' has little effect on you. In fact a terrible economy is better for you as prices tend to stabilize or decline rather than rise, as they do in a good economy. Your gasoline tax goes to repair the roads and bridges in New York (and falls far short of the money needed). property taxes pay for your community's schools, fire, ambulance and police service. The 8.5% sales tax in New York is partially redistributed back to your community to pay for welfare, food stamps and job training and the rest goes to the State of New York for state-wide development projects including the State University and College system.

The proposed rebate is not going to companies - that's just false. Nor is it going to "rich" people, as there is a cap. The funds are targeted at middle and lower class wage earners and single (mother) heads of households qualifying for earned income credit. Just because you are not getting a piece of the pie doesn't mean that the money is not going to people that are in true need of it.

Middle class people are not "lucky". They are hard working honest people.

[Yuugal]

113. I am not sure you understand either, but thats ok.

I'm going to try to explain.

"If you are living off a disability check then the "terrible economy' has little effect on you."

How can you say that? My disability money is maybe 140 bux more than it was 7 yrs ago. I think they bumped it up 2% this year.

Oil for heating was 1.19 a gallon in 2000. Now its over 3 bucks.
Food prices have doubled since 2000.
Electricity, cable, phone, these haven't gone up as fast but still far out pace any increase I'll ever see.
Property taxes are through the roof. Whether you are owning or renting, you pay lots of property tax.
A real killer for the poor: Fees. Car inspection, registration, car ins, heck, just going to a state park is 6 bux. Just for the privilege of visiting a place our tax dollars paid for.

I don't have time to explain all the ways the poor get gouged with regressive taxes and fees, but add in all the predatory lending to desperate people and it should be obvious who suffers the most in this country when things go bad.

"In fact a terrible economy is better for you as prices tend to stabilize or decline rather than rise, as they do in a good economy."

This economy has sucked since Bush got into office. The proof is in the pudding since prices rose, not fell. The reason I'm supporting so many people is because my GF and my ex-wife, who had to move in with us when both her and her bf lost their jobs, CANT GET A JOB. He is a good egg and although we made him as welcome as we could in our home he just couldn't take the dismal economy in NY and wanted to return to Tenn. If he can find me some "good bottom land" in a low tax area we all might move there if the Europe thing doesn't pan out.

"Your gasoline tax goes to repair the roads and bridges in New York (and falls far short of the money needed). property taxes pay for your community's schools, fire, ambulance and police service."

The highway fund has been robbed over and over again over the years. Gimme a break, NY roads are for shit and gas taxes are regressive. Property taxes are regressive also and hurt the poor. All spending should come from a general fund paid into by people who have the means to, through our income tax code.

"The 8.5% sales tax in New York is partially redistributed back to your community to pay for welfare, food stamps and job training and the rest goes to the State of New York for state-wide development projects including the State University and College system."

Ah yes, the welfare, food stamps, and job training none of us qualify for. We are much too rich for that kind of luxury. It was ironic watching the govt lady sucking on the govt tit for 80k a year from her plush office telling my wife she was only eligible for 21 dollars a month in food stamps. If we count her 80k salary and the benes and retirement she probably costs us about 150k a year. The local food bank could feed a lot of people in my town with that money. My kids wont even be able to afford to goto the SUNY college here. I'm sure they will let my kids sweep the floors for minimum wage though.

"The proposed rebate is not going to companies - that's just false."

I've been hearing all day on the news that some of the incentive was going to help companies modernize plants. (which will be outside the US of course) Is that not accurate?

"Just because you are not getting a piece of the pie doesn't mean that the money is not going to people that are in true need of it."

Thanks for that. More trickle down. The pie my family needs is jobs jobs jobs. Not a damn handout. This govt is pretty stupid if it thinks a 300 dollar check will turn things around as they continue to ship every last job overseas.

The only difference between you and me is I was disabled in a job accident. I submit that should that fate befall you, you will soon realize just how much of the safety net is non-existent and how little anyone still doing ok gives a crap. Thats why we get "stimulus" for everyone but the poor. The poor want jobs, not bread and circuses.

[Desertrose]

95. Serious Bummer.

I'm very sorry but can't really blame him......


Had to be hard on Dennis to be continually shut out, have so many vying for his Congressional seat and then to have the loss of his brother on top of all that. Has to be a really rough time. So glad he has his wife.....


Thanks for all you have done Dennis. You are for sure one of the good ones!!!!

Peace,bro.
