1. I hear he may do that or run for governor
He started out with why I supported him in the first place, wasnt the war that got me in to Kucinich, it was labor issues.

4. This year?
Is there a chance of him running for Senate or Gov this November? It's probably far too late, eh?

6. I hear you. I was teared up, too
plus I got to see all my pals in the MN state delegation on CSPAN!!!! I was supposed to go, but I was unemployed, and didn't have the $$$$. Oh well, at least I got a job after 6 months, making more $$ and working for the state, too!

8. You know what stood out for me?
The smile. His message, and presentation, was as good as it gets, imo.

But the smile...his face...he was open. You could see the joy and enthusiasm flowing out to the crowd.

10. Rep. Bernie Sanders says the Senate decorum is a pain.
Dennis stay in the House as Progressive Chair..Great vehicle for progressive advocacy..There are so few progressives in the Senate.You are too vital, stay where you are at...Ohio is a very difficult egg to crack...You can be equally forceful where you are at..
Who would want to be governor of deficit riden Ohio, when you can work for Single Payer Health Insurance and March in Seattle. being governor is a thankless task and as Senator you would be silenced by stuffy senate rules.

12. Sounds good to me.
Here in Cleveland we're pretty much bonkers about him - we keep sending him to congress, after all. Thing is, Cuyahoga County Democrats always get handed their asses in statewide contests, so I don't see it happening (in the primaries, DK did less than 5% in Ohio, but about 30% in Cuyahoga - we're an anomalous little corner of a red state). Of course, a tireless campaigner like him with name-recognition from the prez run could overcome that. How cool that would be!

I understand he's campaigning for his congressional seat now. I hope he also lends a hand to Eric Fingerhut's Senate campaign so we can lose that weenie Voinovich.
