Dennis Kucinich or Rep. Marcy Kaptur?

I can't find any scientific polls on this race, but I think it's going to be close. What does everyone think? I am inclined to think Kucinich will be the winner just because of his 'celebrity' status.

POLL: Who will win Ohio’s 9th District Democratic Primary? Rep. Dennis Kucinich or Rep. Marcy Kaptur?

her voting record doesn't compare to Kucinich's on many important issues. So in the end when you look at their records on voting for the war eg, on funding, on so many other issues, he is the better choice although a difficult one.

If we dont all vote for Kucinich, soon the congress will be 100% pro-war. Which is why the MI complex/ruling class spends so much money trying to rid themselves of people like Kucinich (already lost Weiner, Feingold, Grayson, and Wellstone RIP)

since it's a topic for discussion around here, just WTF has Kooch actually done for his district besides make speeches and grab publicity?

Has he brought money and programs into the district? Has he addressed constituent needs? Has he even sponsored someone's kid into a service academy? Has he ever shown any interest in working with any other congresscritters to get some work done?

Speeches or votes don't mean shit when there's real work to be done.

To me, Dennis hands down. He's one of the best Democrats we have, and I've always countered the anti-Dennis stuff here.
