Dennis Kucinich only up by 4?

Here is a little bit of eye catching news from The Weekly Standard.

TWS: THE WEEKLY STANDARD has obtained the results of a private poll conducted last night in Ohio-10, the Cleveland-area district held for seven terms by Democrat Dennis Kucinich. Kucinich has been widely viewed as safe—even though he fell short of 60 percent of the vote in 2008, and the district has a Cook PVI of only Dem +8.

The poll (based on a small but respectable 319 person sample, with a margin of error of 5.6 percent, weighted to eliminate gender bias) shows Kucinich ahead of his opponent, Peter Corrigan, by only 4 percent. The profile of undecided voters suggests they may break for Corrigan by about 3-2. And Corrigan's 4 percent deficit turns into a 4 percent Corrigan lead when voters are given information on Kucinich's ties to corrupt local Democratic leaders, and on Kucinich's support for illegal immigration. These are signs that undecided voters could be pushed to go Corrigan’s way. Furthermore, Corrigan is running even with Kucinich among those who've already requested their absentee ballot, as early voting has already started in Ohio. [MORE]

Even better news is the fact that Corrigan isn’t even advertising on television and is still that close to Kucinich.  Just imagine what a money bomb to Corrigan could do!

On November 2^nd if left wing whacko Kucinich was shown the door, it would be sweet justice for man who sold his vote on health care reform for a lousy ride on Air Force One.  It would also help to guarantee that the 112^th Congress would be nothing like the current one.

Kucinich switches his vote to YES

Sounds like he is doing it to save Obama’s bacon: 

From Politico: “One of the things that’s bothered me is the attempt to try to delegitimize his presidency. That hurts the nation when that happens. He was elected,” Kucinich said. “We have to be very careful that the potential of President Obama’s presidency not be destroyed by this debate. And I feel, even though I have many differences with him on policy, there’s something much bigger at stake here for America, and that’s what I’d like people to think about.”

Kucinich’s switch may help Nancy get those progressives who were originally a NO to switch to YES, but I cannot see any Blue Dogs wanting to throw in with Kucinich.  Let see how this works out.

Dennis Kucinich to announce his vote on ObamaCare today

Dennis Kucinich will announce his vote on ObamaCare at a press conference today at 10:00 am on Capitol Hill.  Kucinich has been a steady NO vote and voted against the House bill last year.

After being courted by Obama on an Air Force One ride to his hometown, I would say Kucinich is calling this press conference to formally cave.  Why else hold a press conference? To hold one and then say you are still a NO vote would be a slap in Obama’s face. I just don’t see Kucinich having the brass to do that.

The question is will Kucinich’s caving open the floodgates for other progressive fence sitters to vote YES?
