[rucky]

This could become a nailbiter.

1. I wish we could keep them both

But I am rooting for Kaptur.

[TheWraith]

2. Likewise.

Kaptur's record is every bit as good, and without the embarrassments.

[ChromeFoundry]

4. Not really...

Plus, Marcy ran a pretty dirty campaign this past week. Half truths and flat out lies.
She's lost all credibility from this voter.

[TheWraith]

6. That link demonstrates why Kaptur is better.

Voted to reauthorize SCHIP while Kucinich voted against it.

Voted in favor of cap-and-trade while Kucinich voted against it.

Voted for the Responsible Redeployment from Iraq Act while Kucinich voted against it.

Voted for healthcare reform while Kucinich voted against it.

Etcetera, etcetera.

7. Kucinich voted the way he did for all the right reasons

But we will never agree anyway on this. He's my kind of Democrat and not yours - that's just how it is.

[ChromeFoundry]

8. +1

[joshcryer]

9. What "right reasons" justify being against SCHIP, C&T, Iraq troop reduction, and HCR?

I mean, principle is one thing, but if you're going to vote no on everything you may as well not even be there voting.

[mvd]

10. Agin, they are all principle. You ignore all the times he voted Obama's way.

Even the way those things are framed don't tell the whole story. Of course he wanted HCR and troops out of Iraq.

[joshcryer]

12. No justification for it.

[mvd]

13. In YOUR opinion. I just edited in how that's a misrepresentation, too

[mvd]

16. With that, I wish Kaptur luck

It's just very sad to me that he's losing.

[ChromeFoundry]

14. Yeah, let's talk "right reasons"...

Marcy Kaptur voted to fund Bush’s wars. Dennis did not.

Marcy Kaptur voted for the Patriot Act. Dennis did not.

Marcy Kaptur supports the Keystone pipeline. Dennis does not.

Dennis has worked relentlessly for nuclear safety at Davis-Besse. Marcy Kaptur has not.

Dennis supported the Dream Act. Marcy Kaptur opposed it.

Dennis supports Marriage Equality. Marcy Kaptur opposes it.

Dennis fully supports Choice. Marcy Kaptur opposes it.

[mvd]

15. Voting record also suggests Kaptur supports the death penalty

It's a shame that the Repukes tried for so long to get him out, and it looks like our primary did it. Hope he runs again. I like his independence.

[ChromeFoundry]

17. If Kaptur puts forth 1/4 the effort Dennis put into Cuyahoga County jobs...

Things will be OK.

Sad to see Dennis go, but I will now support Marcy for as long as she proves to support for my district.

[mvd]

18. Hope it works out

It will be hard to be a DK, but hope she does your district right.

[mvd]

3. Go Dennis

No embarrassments there - just good liberal politics. He embarrasses the special interests!

[joshcryer]

5. Latest OH-9 results have Kaptur leading by 51-45 over Kucinich with 16% reporting

From link in OP.

[ChromeFoundry]

11. Latest OH-9 results have Kaptur leading by 56-40 over Kucinich with 62% reporting

...roll up the sidewalks Cuyahoga county. Last one out - turn off the lights.

[onenote]

19. so much for the nailbiter predictions

[Rosco T.]

20. MSNBC just called it for Kaptur n/m
