Is Kucinich in trouble in his primary race for his Congressional seat?

[cali]

Evidently 2 people are challenging him in the primary for OH-10. And according to a thread at koa, he may well have a hot primary. Anyone fom his district know what's up?

1. Who would dare?

[Hydra]

2. DLC?

4. At least one of his opponents is definitely a progressive

from what I read over at kos.

3. I have heard there is a contingent of folks in his ditrict

who want him more as a Rep than as a Presidential candidate...

funny thing is Dennis still makes more votes than many of his colleagues who are NOT running for president.

9. Anti-war activist Rosemary Palmer dares and Paul Hackett is supporting her

10. That's an odd question

Isn't that the democratic process? Why shouldn't anyone challenge an incumbent?

5. Kucinich has tremendous name recognition in his district, he'll likely win on that alone.

Name recognition is a very powerful tool in addition to lots of local money. It means incumbency victory rates as high as 90 percent or more, which helps explain why change comes very slow in America as far as reforms go.

6. he's probably not bringing home enough pork

for the type of candidate who supports a DLCer

7. So Says Kos...

His vote yesterday against the S-CHIP program isn't gonna do him well with those in his district.

8. One can only hope...Rosemary Palmer has been endorsed by Paul Hackett...

She is the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq and a former Kucinich supporter...

She makes the correct point that Kucinich seems to be more interested in running quixotic campaigns for President than tending to his duties as a Congressman...
