Kucinich's First Lady Remark Sparks Search For Soul Mate

Who Wants To Be First Lady?

UPDATED: 11:22 a.m. EST November 25, 2003

Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich joked earlier this month during a candidate's forum that a TV network might want to step up and sponsor a search for a potential first lady for him.

Kucinich "As a bachelor, I get a chance to fantasize about my first lady," Kucinich said. "And you know maybe Fox will want to sponsor it as a national contest or something. But in any event I would definitely want someone who would not just be there by my side, but be a working partner because I think we're in a day in age when partnerships are imperative to making anything happening in the world. And I certainly want a dynamic, outspoken woman who was fearless in her desire for peace in the world and for universal single-payer health care and a full employment economy. If you are out there call me."

The TV networks didn't bite, but a political Web site did. PoliticsNH.com is offering to fly the winner of it's "Who wants to be a first lady?" contest to New Hampshire for a date with Kucinich, who has agreed to play along.

More than 80 women entered the contest by the time the Web site's managing editor cut off submissions last week. James Pindell said the entries were overwhelming the site's staff, whose real job is to cover New Hampshire politics.

He said the contest has boosted the site's traffic from 10,000 to 160,000 visitors a day.

Kucinich said he doesn't really have time to date while he campaigns for the Democratic nomination for president.

NewsNet5.com is going to play along, too. Join our discussion and tell us why you want to be Kucinich's wife. We will pass them along to him.
