"Look Out, Cleveland, the storm is comin' through,And it's runnin' right up on you."
The Band, Look Out Cleveland,
1969The people of Cleveland's west side and the surrounding suburbs may have finally had enough of its nutty congressman, erstwhile boy-mayor Dennis Kucinich.
In addition to the much-anticipated Ohio presidential primary, Buckeye Staters will vote in statewide and congressional contests as well. And Kucinich, who a month ago was running (not very well) for president, is now fighting, again, for his political life.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer Politics Blog:
Rep. Dennis Kucinich's campaign acknowledged today that the six-term congressman faces his strongest opposition to date in his race to hold onto his 10th Congressional district seat.
In a press release about a campaign appearance, spokesman Andy Juniewicz says Kucinich is "facing the toughest re-election campaign in nearly 12 years in the U.S. House."
Kucinich faces four candidates in the March 4 Democratic primary: Cleveland Councilman Joe Cimperman; Barbara Ferris, founder/president of the International Women's Democracy Center; Rosemary Palmer, former teacher and journalist; and North Olmsted's Thomas O'Grady.
Cimperman seems to be Kucinich's strongest foe.

His opponents aren't much better; but with Dennis the Menace, it's hard to get worse.
In short, Dennis: Get out.
He ruined the city of Cleveland, and he's lowered the bar for Congressional representation.
Hopefully, the people of NW Ohio are smart enough, this time, to get rid of the troll.
