This is a class blog for the students of POLSCI 426: Congressional Politics at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.

Redistricted? Yes. Re-Stated? Maybe.

Washington state Democratic Party Chairman Dwight Pelz:

Dennis Kucinich has to decide what his legacy is going to be. Will he be remembered as a principled member of Congress or the narcissist who lost two Congressional races in two states the same year?

Meanwhile, Dennis Kucinich claims that voters are "urging [him] to run."

A great many other members of Congress have simply chosen to retire.

Kucinich is very hard to understand. Clearly he has taken some very far left positions throughout his career and as we saw with his first loss that those kinds of policies maybe aren't the most favored right now and that it would take a very particular type of district for his ideology to take hold. I would argue that maybe he isn't being such a narcissist as the article suggests but just being his usual ideological self thinking that his services are truly desired by some district. There has to be some advisor on his staff fanning the flames because I cannot see how someone with as long of a career as Kucinich has wanting the embarrassment of 2 defeats in one election year.
