He told our leaders what he intended to do and they ignored it. I blame the Republicans for the mess we are in today. They let the neocons run the show, and look what we have to show for it. The neocons want war with Iran next. I caucased for Kucinich. He continues to be proven correct. Thank God (if there is one) for Kucinch and Feingold.

He sometimes talks like he knows what is going on then usually votes in lockstep with the party. His term ends in '10 I believe and word is he wants to run one more time. I suspect that has a lot to do with his comments. By the way northern Ohioans, please remember that George was mayor of Cleveland before moving on the governor then the senate. Can't blame the southern part of the state for this one (unlike Taft, Dewine, etc.). Voinovich unfortunately is Ohio’s version of Arlen Specter.
