Elizabeth Kucinich on Ron Paul & Dennis Kucinich as Running Mates
Congressmen & presidential hopefuls Dennis Kucinich (D) & Ron Paul (R)
The Mavericks
In a recent interview Elizabeth Kucinich acknowledged her husband, liberal Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich, would consider libertarian Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul as his running mate.
For many a Kucinich vs. Paul presidential race would be a dream come true.
Unfortunately, most voters do not delve deep enough into election politics and U.S. policy to give these maverick presidential campaigners a chance. However, with a whopping $5 million in donations freshly dumped into the Paul campaign coffers and an expected $12 million in the fourth quarter, it’s possible the two mavericks might team up as a third party ticket.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich & Elizabeth Kucinich
Elizabeth Kucinich on whether her husband, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, would consider Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul as a running mate:
“It’s a consideration; absolutely. I mean, Ron Paul he’s a great truth teller as well. He’s voted 100% right on the war…So I think there could be some bipartisan movements going on there.”
Either way, as opponents or under the same ticket, Kucinich and Paul could be quite the match.

Stumble it!
LOL I’ve been working on which of these guys I wanted to vote for; if they run together, my decision will be made for me!
Catharine:
They are both persons of conscience, so I can understand your dilemma.
Ron Paul’s libertarian streaks run a bit too far for me: I believe government *is* capable of some good, and is able to handle certain events the market simply cannot.
In addition, some social programs do work for the betterment of our society. Out of the two, Kucinich best matches with me.

I do not understand how two diametrically opposed politicos could be running mates. Kucinich is a big government socialist and a complete pacifist who’s political leanings boarder on communism. I recall a woman who attempted to convince me to vote for Spinach Kucinich solely on the basis that he is a vegan/vegetarian. My libertarian reply was that he could eat all the meat he wants so long as he legislated for person responsibility, individual freedom, smaller, less intrusive government and the right of Americans to keep what they earn. I probably offended her.
Jeffersonianideal:
I think the interest in Paul and Kucinich is that they are both the fringe truth-tellers in the respective parties; unlikely to win and fiery. While their view of the role of government are very different indeed, it would be fascinating to see two opposites come together to help solve our nation’s challenges.
I’m not sure any two other candidates from different parties could work together as well as they potentially could.
