‘Dhimmicrat’ Rep. Marcy Kaptur Wins Redrawn Ohio 9th C.D. Primary Beating Fellow Progressive, Rep. Dennis Kucinichby Jerry Gordon
….THE MOSLEMS HAVE KAPTURED HER IMAGINATION IT SEEMS…..IN HER WORDS…..
“One could say that Osama bin Laden and these non-nation-state fighters with religious purpose are very similar to those kind of atypical revolutionaries that helped to cast off the British crown”
The narrow victory of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney over challenger, former US Senator Rick Santorum in the early hours of March 7th in the GOP primary may have overshadowed the victory of Rep. Marcy Kaptur over veteran progressive Rep. Dennis Kucinich in the redrawn Ohio 9th Congressional District, Democratic primary. The National Journal reported on her victory over Kunich in a brief note,”Kaptur Defeats Kucinich in Ohio’s 9th District Primary”:
The Cleveland Plain Dealer called the race for Kaptur near midnight. With 84 percent of precincts reporting, Kaptur led Kucinich 60 percent to 36 percent.
Kaptur and Kucinich were drawn into the same district after slow population growth forced Ohio to contract two seats in congressional redistricting last year. Kucinich ran strong in his Cuyahoga County base outside Cleveland, but Kaptur more than made up the difference around her home in Toledo and the sliver of territory between the two cities that was new to both representatives.
Kaptur’s victory puts her in pole position for the top Democratic slot on the powerful House Appropriations Committee next year. She is the second-ranking Democrat on the committee now, but ranking member Norm Dicks, D-Wash., announced last week that he will retire at the end of this Congress.
