Dennis Kucinich, about to be gerrymandered out of a job, is considering carpetbagging in Washington State. Representative Kucinich's 10th District seat in Ohio may well be eliminated next year as Ohio loses two seats in the House due to population declines. Washington State will add a congressional seat next year.
In the fine carpetbagging tradition of Bobby Kennedy and Hillary Clinton, Kucinich is pondering relocating (at least legally, if not physically) to Western Washington. Jay Inslee's seat may be vacant if he decides to run for governor. Maybe Jim McDermott will throw in the towel. He is always returned to Washington by huge majorities. . .even if he is a back-bencher, because our district is unrepentantly Democratic.
Kucinich's press secretary, Nathan White, claims that Kucinich has been urged by people in 20 states to move to their district and run for office. Right. White went on to say "As he has repeatedly said, he fully intends to remain in Congress; he just doesn't know in what district he will run."
