Essex girl fills White House race with lurve
Elizabeth, 6ft, towers over her congressman husband Dennis
Sarah Baxter, Washington
AN Essex girl may be the first lady with a tongue stud to have set her sights on the White House. The wife of Dennis Kucinich, a left-wing Democratic congressman and 2008 presidential candidate, is a 29-year-old hippie chick from Upminster at the end of London Underground's District line.
Elizabeth Kucinich, n�e Harper, has been on the stump with her husband, a 60-year-old anti-war campaigner from Cleveland, Ohio, mingling with the likes of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama backstage at the Democratic presidential debates. "There's a kind of camaraderie," she said.
A 6ft tall willowy redhead who has been compared to Arwen Evenstar, the Lord of the Rings character, she towers over her diminutive husband. "Who cares?" she said in an interview. "I like wearing high heels so I'm used to being taller than most men I stand next to."
Nor is she bothered by their 31-year age difference. "I have never noticed it at all," she said. "Dennis is a very mature but young-at-heart gentleman and we complement each other."
Kucinich met her husband-to-be two years ago when she visited his office in the House of Representatives with her boss
as a volunteer worker for the American Monetary Institute, an offbeat group dedicated to reforming the "unjust monetary system".
It was love at first sight for both of them. Immediately after their meeting, Dennis Kucinich phoned a friend and said: "I've met her [my future wife]."
He was mesmerised to receive a business e-mail from Harper with her usual signature line from Kama Sutra, one of her favourite films: "Knowing love, I shall allow all things to come and go, to be as supple as the wind and take everything that comes with great courage. My heart is as open as the sky."

My guy Rudy is of course being treated unfairly. All the media seems to care about is his marriage. Funny how when the president of the United States cheated on his wife everyone was like "Well it's his personal life and it's none of our business," yet when a guy is married a few times we never stop hearing about it.

If the election was held today, no Republican would even come close to sniffing victory. Rightfully so.

I could say the same things about the Democrats.
I question your assertion that a Rep would stand no chance if the election were today. You're simply incorrect. The polls I have seen shows a very close race between the top candidates (Rudy, McCain, Hillary, Obama). The notion that a Democrat is going to run away with this race is flat out wrong- maybe wishful thinking on your part, but it's flat out wrong.
Pew asked voters 18-49 who'd they have a "good chance" of voting for of the current leading candidates. The results (allowing to vote for more than one candidate):
Clinton: 24%
Obama: 22%
Gore: 19%
Giuliani: 15%
Edwards: 11%
McCain: 9%
Thompson: 7%
Gingrich: 7%
Romney: 6%

Is it now?
Pew Poll that came out yesterday, for your enjoyment:
Enjoy the numbers here.
The fact that a guy who isn't even running is ahead of the ENTIRE Republican field is an embarrassment.
anitram said:I said if the election was today none of them would come close to victory and I absolutely believe it. The public is just anti-war enough and hates Bush enough to allow no Republican into the White House at the present moment.

absintheminded said:Why doesn't anybody like Hillary Clinton? She did a number during the whole Clinton administration...

I've never understood why many people dislike her either. And I don't mean her politics, I mean I'm hearing a lot who dislike HER. I don't think she's done very much, nor had much of an impact to warrant such attention, be it negative or positive.
2861U2 said:
A number of reasons I dont like her, aside from her politics.
1) She's a complete phony. Watch the videos of her speaking with a southern/black accent when she was talking to a church congregation. I would be embarrassed by that if I were a Hillary supporter.
2) Her voice. She has the most irritating and monotonous voice. I could not stand to listen to her speak for 4 years.
3) Stated clearly be a number of people: She didnt know Bill was running around on her. Oh yeah? Then I dont think you're smart enough to be the president of the United States.

1) what videos are you talking about?
2) you REALLY base your dislike of somebody because of the voice that GOD gave him/her?
3) as is evident in the current administration, intelligence is not a prerequisite for holding presidential office

3) Don't make this about Bush. Hillary did not know what Bill was doing, and that doesnt show to me that she is too bright.
