Obama less popular on DU than war-making

53. Then how does Sherrod Brown, a real Progressive get elected?

If you think that he's a 'coporatist', you don't know too much about Ohio politics.

If Dennis is 'well to the left' of most Ohioans, how does he keep getting elected to his own district, which isn't very left at all, it is mostly middle-to-lower blue-collar working class people that are rather socially conservative?

It's because he campaigns one way in his district, and another when speaking to a national audience.

I know.

I've heard him speak in his district.

There are *two* Dennis Kuciniches; the one you see, and the one his constituents get to see.


And if you really think Dennis doesn't take much in the way of corporate dollars, then you never heard of Sam Miller of Forest City Enterprises, the Ratner family, or the Salzbergs.

Don't feel bad, most people haven't.

I know you haven't, or you wouldn't be posting what you post about Dennis and corporate money.

These people have hundreds of millions of dollars of privately held wealth at their disposal.

Forest City donates huge sums of money to Cleveland area Democratic politicians.

Lots of that largesse goes to Dennis.

They have owned Dennis ever since he was a councilman wanting to be mayor of Cleveland. They are a huge real estate investment and development firm who got lots and lots of friendly bids from the City of Cleveland and under the Kucinich Administration.

There is so much people don't know about Dennis Kucinich here it is sickening.

He fools lots people with his populist rhetoric, but in the end, he sells out cheap.
