Could Dennis Kucinich run for Congress in Washington? He's not exactly denying it

It may sound like a crazy rumor, but Ohio's Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich may really be thinking about running for Congress in Washington state � possibly in the yet-to-be drawn new 10th District.

As noted by Eli Sanders at the Stranger, there is talk among high-level political sources about why Kucinich, the fiery liberal-vegan-sometimes-presidential-candidate has been spending time recently in Washington state.

I thought this was nuts when I first heard about it today, but have since talked to a reputable source who says there may be something to the chatter.

A call to Kucinich's office this afternoon did not put the rumor to rest.

1. No reason he couldn't, as long as he moved there in time to

meet that state's residency requirement. The real question is whether he could win the election. Another question might be his tenure if he switched residencies from his current district. It's an iffy thing, I think. I think he should think long and hard about it before making a decision, if he's even thinking about it.
