I think Kucinich will lose and this article shows why. Kaptur is seen as more powerful in DC and Kucinich is seen as having lost any connection to Cleveland. He even refused to rule out running in Washington State if he loses the primary. That ought to be a softball question right there. Look at the comments on the bottom for an idea of the local sentiment. I don't see how Kucinich can win this. I just don't.
Also, this is NE Ohio. No one cares about illegal immigration.
From what I've read, there is far more enthusiasm for Kucinich (tons of yard signs for Kucinich in Cleveland). Most of the negative feedback towards Kucinich is coming from Republicans and conservative-leaning independents (I scrolled through news stories and found this out). Democrats/progressives tended to side with Kucinich. Kaptur's ads strike me as general election ads and they parrot Republican talking points plus blatantly lie to the voters. She's received lots of flak because of them.
All the more reason for Kaptur to have the moral conscience to vote for the DREAM Act...
