One of Dennis Kucinich’s most often-cited assets during his run for the Democratic nomination to be president was his wife, Elizabeth. Now, while he works to retain his seat in Ohio’s 10th congressional district (he’ll be going for his seventh term), she may be occupied with the new windmill he’s erecting, IntegrityNow.org.
From the Plain Dealer Openers blog:
The 61-year-old congressman announced the creation of a national organization, Integrity Now, which will continue to push his presidential campaign agenda of ending the war in Iraq.
Kucinich said all the energy that had gone into his presidential campaign could now be “transitioned” to the new group. He gave few details of the organization but said his wife, Elizabeth, would play a major role, and he urged people to visit integritynow.org.
The only sign of life at the site is a sign-up form.
In the meantime, Kucinich continues to try to garner support to commence an investigation (via articles of impeachment) of President George Bush for his role in sending the U.S. down the road to war in Iraq.
As an Ohioan who lives one district away from Dennis and who has been following at least three of his four Democratic primary opponents for months, I’d encourage him to pay even more attention to his home turf, because the opponents are amping up.
NB: Kucinich says that he won’t endorse any Democrat in the primary. However, he told his supporters to vote for Barack Obama in the Iowa caucuses.
