Super Tuesday

It is super as far as I am concerned when the grandstander himself, Dennis Kucinich, was finally put out to pasture thanks to redrawing of his former House district. He had to compete in the Ohio Democratic primary against Marcy Kaptur in the new district, and he lost, thank God.

No more grandstanding and pretending to be the hero of the "progressive left."

Dennis Kucinich is out and Marcy Kaptur has captured the Democratic primary in the new 9th District, according to data analysis from cleveland.com

Kaptur, the longest serving woman in Congress, has apparently won the Democratic primary.

According to The official Ohio Secretary of State site, Kaptur had won four of the five counties -- except for Cuyahoga -- although not all of the ballots have been counted in the five-county district.

Maybe he can run for mayor of Cleveland, if the city would have him.

There are rumors running rampant that he is considering rolling up his carpet and bagging it to Washington state to run for Congress there.

Meanwhile, he displayed not only his much-younger, much-taller wife at his "concession" speech, he also displayed the class for which he is so renowned:

Mr. Kucinich returned to a Cleveland restaurant to announce he had lost, again thank supporters, but also had harsh words for Miss Kaptur of Toledo.

"I would like to be able to congratulate Congresswoman Kaptur but I do have to say that she ran a media campaign in the Cleveland media market that was utterly lacking in integrity with false statements half truths, [and] misrepresentations," he said. "I hope that is not the kind of representation she would provide to this community. And I don't think the people of Toledo have any idea of the kind of campaign that was run up in the Cleveland area."

Pure class. I wonder how much longer Elizabeth will stay with him. There are better prospects out there for her.
