I'm not necessarily trying to hint at anything here, I just find it odd. Any ideas?
It's a major defection of a sorts of a big name Democrat to a radical Republican's cause.
I gave kudos to Kucinich for refusing to participate in the most recent 'secret' session of Congress when they were renewing the Patriot Act.
He lambasted the House in a televised speach and excused himself and that was admirable.
With the Democrats in charge though I am sure Kucinich doesn't want to cut his throat with his own party, and waited until it was going to be a go
anyway to get on board.
Kind of like Collin Powell and Barack Obama.
