Dennis Kucinich coming to Olympia

One of America's most consistent quixotic candidates is coming to Olympia tomorrow.

His local stop is at 4:30 p.m. at Traditions Café, 300 Fifth Ave., S.W., Olympia.

“We might have an overflow crowd,” said Todd Iverson, whose America In Solidarity worker-rights group organized Kucinich’s visit to Washington.

Kucinich, an Ohio congressman who advocated U.S. withdrawal from Iraq during his 2004 presidential campaign, will have stops earlier in the day in Seattle and Tacoma.

He also will speak at 7:30 p.m. at Grays Harbor College’s Bishop Center, and Sunday he will be at the Seattle Labor Temple, 2800 First Ave.

The short story: Kucinich is unelectable, but, unlike Ralph Nader, steers the debate leftward without detracting votes. See Kucinich's take on the issues here.
