COLUMBUS, Ohio – Dennis Kucinich may not be a presidential contender, but he is still a winner among his Cleveland constituents.
The Ohio liberal won 50 percent of the vote in a five-way Democratic congressional primary Tuesday, beating back critics who said he ignored business at home to travel the country in his quest to be president.
Mayor Sanders The six-term incumbent will face former state Rep. Jim Trakas, who won 80 percent of Republican votes cast in the northeast Ohio district. Kucinich's race was the best-known congressional contest on ballots in Ohio and Texas on Tuesday.
Other races included a fight for the nomination to challenge Sen. John Cornyn in Texas. In Vermont, voters in one community approved a measure calling for the arrest of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
For years, the 61-year-old Kucinich won re-election by margins of up to 75 percent in a reliably Democratic district.
But after sensing early that Cleveland City Council member Joe Cimperman was a formidable opponent, Kucinich abandoned his presidential campaign on Jan. 25, months earlier in the race than he did in 2004, when he also was polling in low one-digit numbers.
After leaving the White House race, Kucinich returned to his familiar fighting-for-you mantra to win renomination and landed a quick $700,000 in contributions.

Yeah!!!! C'mon Dennis, kick some repug ass!
A couple of years ago, a Republican committee staff director told me candidly (and proudly) what the method was to all this obstruction and disruption. Should Republicans succeed in obstructing the Senate from doing its job, it would further lower Congress’s generic favorability rating among the American people. By sabotaging the reputation of an institution of government, the party that is programmatically against government would come out the relative winner.If you could reason with religious people there'd be no religious people. -House
