Lots of Toledoen's wanted their own congress member , thinking both progressives. Not that Kaptur hasn't had her positive points. but, no one is as dependable as Kucinich to Always be in the right side. the people 's side..
Missing is putting it mildly. More like his laser like focus on what is bad will be sorely missed and the Congress will suffer as a result.
Is Kaptur almost pure , as is Kucinich. She failed us of late..

Some have said too many congress members don't read what they are about to vote for.. Can't say that about Kucinich..
Kaptur's best defense.. Lets hope she didn't sell out at keast,, ..
