Yea Right! Dennis is a mental midget and his wife is a giant dreamer. God bless their souls!!

Rick, Richmond, VA

It'd be wonderful to have Dennis & his wife in the White House, people who speak the truth & love peace! But first let's impeach bush/cheney, to purge this country of warmongering and repression, and to restore the Constitution. Imagine no more war, no more billions to Haliburton, no more torture, no more illegal wiretapping, restoring habeas corpus.

Fred Sokolow, Santa Monica , CA, USA

The poo-poo comments won't matter once Dennis becomes the U.S. president and Elizabeth is First Lady. American cynics disbelieve, but when we all get non-profit universal healthcare in the U.S., and our family members in the military can leave the war zones and start rebuilding at home and abroad, and the folks in Cleveland get their jobs back when the Kucinich Administration cancels NAFTA and the WTO, not to mention the jobs and benefit to the planet when Dennis initiates a Works Green Administration pushing for organic ag and renewable energy standards (in our lifetime!) - we'll all be much better off.

None of the other candidates will do this. Let's start supporting ourselves and each other and actually work for the candidate who supports all of us, instead of supporting who you're told to support by the sold out corporate media and naysayers.

funny since dennis is a democrat and cares, the fact that his wife is 31 years younger is ok, however fred thompson whos wife is 25 years younger just wants a trophy wife.......more liberal hypocrisy

Jeff Smith, auburn hills, Michigan

I saw Elizabeth Kucinich on Fox & Friend's this morning and she came across as an annoying outsider. A 29 year old snip, with a gentle voice and unrealistic view of world affairs, in particular the USA. As for Roman Catholic Dennis! Even St. Augustine said: Those who wage war justly aim at peace, and so they are not opposed to peace, except to the evil peace, which Our Lord "came not to send upon earth" "We do not seek peace in order to be at war, but we go to war that we may have peace. Be peaceful, therefore, in warring, so that you may vanquish those whom you war against, and bring them to the prosperity of peace."

awats, Maspeth, NY, USA

How charming to see the Brits pontificating about our American political system!

The truth is that American candidates are plastered all over with money and influence, as well as the requirement to suck up to potentially helpful organizations and individuals. (Simple translation: "Lie.")

Even God can't win a U.S. election without billions of dollars and a lot of behind-the-scenes deals. Kucinich may run all he wants, but he doesn't have enough money, and you need LOTS of money to run a serious campaign.

He also suffers from having a surname with more than three syllables; you will notice that only three Presidents since 1900 have had surnames with more than two syllables, and one of those only got in because he was a war hero.

In general the American public favors presidents with short names. Presumably this is a strategy to match the public's equally short attention span.

I have always admired his views, which are sound, even though we understand the US system well enough to know he has only a slight chance. But Dennis Kucinich is brilliant -- and so, evidently, is his beautiful soulmate! Thank you for publishing this priceless peice!

Maria Ashot, Berkeley, California, USA

Speaking as a constiuent of DK the rest of the world should realize he is one of the chief proponents of what Dickens, writing in Bleak House, call "Telescopic Philanthrophy". On his watch our district has lost thousands of good paying industrial jobs to countries who want to "adjust the monetary policy", violent crime continues to rise and the city centers are becoming no go areas especially at night, and race relations are at an all time low.

Larry Seman, Broadview Heights, Ohio

It would appear that Dennis Kucinich is no more than the perfect foil to Elizabeth's immature and patronising views. I do not understand all the fuss about her tongue stud - every child on the estate near my house has one. Perhaps we should be a little more concerned with what comes out of her mouth rather than that which is stuck inside it.
As a female born and bred in Essex I am not remotely surprised she enjoyed a good education, but perhaps she should widen her view of the world before professing to be able to solve all of its problems.

Katie Steptoe, Harold Hill, UK

Although it's true that Dennis (who is the congressman from the other side of the city I live in) has little change of winning the Democratic presidential nomination, he's well-liked in his district and will always win reelection, no matter how much some people gripe. And Elizabeth is a really gracious and likable person, as well as smart and articulate. I've met her at numerous rallies, speeches and other campaign and peace events, and she's always so nice to everyone. I wish them both well, although I'm one of many who wishes that Dennis was spending more time in congress pressuring his fellow congresspeople about getting out of Iraq and less time running his presidential campaign.

Anstasia P., Cleveland, Ohio, USA

I don't think anyone takes Mr. Kucinich for a serious contender for the DNC nomination.

Personally, I'm hoping to see Fred Thompson announce his intent to run soon.

Eric, Chattanooga, Tennessee

Lo, Portland:
This is newsworthy because she is an Englishwoman with the (admittedly small) chance of becoming First Lady.
If Gordon Brown's wife was Oregon's finest, you can bet you'd read about it in the New York Times, Washington Post etc.

Jealousy doesn't really come into it.

Chris Taylor, Worthing, England

What IS so funny about peace, love and understanding? No money in it for the facists I suppose.

Stuatr, Johannesburg, South Africa

How big a man is Denny the K? He's the first to file Bushist impeachment charges.

Vic Anderson, Eagle Lake, USA/FL

As a story about an interesting Brit girl with a different life, This is good stuff. Strange that commentators have to expose their prejudices with such naivete.

wokrightinn, Rudkøbing, Denmark

Nothing about Dennis is ordinary or second rate.
He is real and honest and good.
This will probably eliminate his chance for the presidency given that we Americans celebrate style over substance every time.

Art Durand aka Whitebear, Mukilteo, USA/WA

Very nice, but speaking of reality, he didn't make the cut last time, and he won't this time either. Not that I'm wild about any of the other prospects....

Linda, Albany NY,

i love hippies,i could use her as a centre pole for my wigwam.much love.

steve, edgware, uk

she is beautiful, they look fabulous together. good looking AND peaceful - they have my vote

Sunita, Northwood, UK

I can't believe people are so judgemental. If you're all going to judge these people, judge them on what they do after they get into office, don't villify them before they've even started. How could they possibly be worse than what is there at the moment. They might seem quirky to some, but they come across as happy, upbeat and generally positive individuals, which in comparison to all the misery and paranoia in vogue at the moment is frankly refreshing. Give them a chance!

Catherine, Dublin, Ireland

It is sad, but she has hooked up with a political joke. Dennis is out of touch. He would do for the U.S. what the British Labour Party did for Britain.

I don' t wish any ill to either of them.

Bill Turner, Selma, Alabama

Paul Houghton, I think you logged on to the wrong site.
I usually associate the " AH..but as it appllies to basically white working class folk its ok,right?" type comments with The Sun newspaper.
And what really makes me laugh out loud is the fact that your whinging and grumbling is coming all the way from South Africa. Brilliant!

Ngozi, London, England

She sounds like an excellent role model for my kids, I'm going down
the nearest Lada dealership right now to get myself a bit of left wing motoring, and I'm implanting my tongue stud right now in the office with my biro, it certainly beats reading about left wing delinquants making an embarassment of the English in the States.
People like her are the reason I live very happily in France and they are the reason I cringe when I hear about them, hoping one day England will pull itself together.

John Bland, mondeville, France

It is a strange but undeniable fact that three ofthe top ten state girls' schools are in Essex, at Chelmsford, Colchester and Woodford.

Terry Hamblin, Bournemouth,

NightFire - Ad hominem attacks without warrants are, I take it, a much higher form of thought and communication? What exactly about Kucinich's policy views do you think ignores reality or is self-delusional or egocentric?

Ryan, Rochester, NY

Nightfire writes "The amount of self-delusion and egocentrism involved is quite astonishing.", From Alabama, heart of the Bible Belt where reality oriented thinking is quite definitely not approved of. If the self-delusion and egocentrism of Elizabeth & David is so bad then why is it so good for Israel?

I'd rather have a new age peacnik in the White House than a member of the God squad with messianic beliefs and a desire to take over the world with highly non-christian military force.

John Small, Faversham, UK

Its amazing how the derogatory term Essex girl/boy is used so frequantly, even in this pc obsessed age we live in.
It comletely discriminates against a whole group of people based solely on the area of there birth.
AH.....but as it applies to basically white working class folk its ok.right?

paul houghton, johannesburg, south africa

Why is this even newsworthy, other than to spike the ire of the conservative trolls who revel in jealousy over Kucinich's great game?

Lo, Portland, OR

Elizabeth and Dennis Kucinich are indeed the perfect pair, both having spent their lives engaged in magical thinking, which is no doubt calming to them because it ignores reality. The amount of self-delusion and egocentrism involved is quite astonishing.

NightFire, Pike Road, Alabama, USA

Kucinich? He has as much chance of the presidency as I do, and I'm too young to run.

And to speak heresy, Diana wasn't that special. Just a woman who was marginaly better looking than the average Brit.

Sam, Oxnard, CA, USA

I think this woman has had some incredible education and with her knowledge, can be a great First Lady. Have you heard her or Dennis speak? Once you hear Dennis speak at a live venue, you will be hooked! He makes perfect sense. Check out her YouTube videos, this woman is an old soul and is a champion for peace and humankindness, even before she met Dennis. I would love it if both of them were leading the country. Do some reasearch on them!

Tee, Tampa Bay, Florida

So what did you expect anyway?

Sam Russo, las vegas, nevada USA

Lol.. 'At the end of the London Underground's District Line.' Thats jokes.. Anyway.. I didnt even read the whole article.. But the beginning was jokes.. x

Jazz, London, UK

Perhaps if we let the so-called freaks run this circus of a country, something good could actually be accomplished.

Natasha, Pensacola, Florida

"But they might tell Elizabeth to lose the tongue stud. Next, it's 'What kind of pets do the presidential candidates have, and other Real Issues..." Please. What do you care? The conservative bias in this article is already enough to make me break out in red-[state] hives without that stupid, pointless dig. You'll take our tongue studs when you pry them out of our cold, dead mouths.

Edward Morris, Portland, Oregon

yeah, i'm sorry, but the idea of some stupid 29-year-old english chick thinking she'll get into our white house and "help us reconcile with the rest of the world" is truly scary. thanks, but i think we'll be ok without her new-age intervention. and i love how they explained about her tongue stud as her discovering it in india???? no, she got it because every other kid in the world has one. it is no more unique than this girl's views, of which i'm sure she thinks they are incredibly forward thinking.

candi, san francisco, ca

If Dennis likes the tongue stud who's to say she should lose it?

TJ Cassidy, Arlington, Virginia, USA

Just when you think Washington politics could ot possibly become an even bigger circus.

Marianne, Cincinnati, Ohio

Nice story but totally useless. Dennis Kucinich has NO chance at the White House. At the absolute best he is angling for a cabinet position. What his wife does is insignificant. She is not being elected. But she can easily be a turn off to voters in the mid-west. The age thing will raise people's eyebrows and I am not sure if the British thing will to. Elections are cruel

Dan , Frederick , US

The magazine "U.S. News and World Report" ranked health care systems throughout the world, and listed the U.S. at number 36, despite having the dubious honor of having the world's most expensive system. Cuba, one of the world's least expensive, was ranked 37, Insurance companies sell health coverage only to the qualified healthy who can afford to join a "plan." As insureds on a plan become ill (hypertension, diabetes, heart problems, etc), they become trapped within that plan, and the remaining healthy ones opt to join competing cheaper plans, as they don't wish to pay the health bills of the sick plan members by paying higher premiums. Eventually, a dwindling number of trapped plan members must pay geometrically increasing policy rates. D. Kucinich is the only presidential candidate to advocate a national, single payer health care system. Existing federal subsidies to health care, combined with a 1 1/2 - 2% tax, would cover all U.S. citizen - much cheaper than private cos.

Karl K., Sarasota, FL U.S

Wow, I love Elizabeth's attitude and think she would be a wonderful first-lady, speaking from the heart. We need that so bad right now and nobody is stepping up to the plate. The good thing is the more George Bush polarizes the populace against him the more people that will learn about Dennis and Elizabeth. I'm torn between him and Obama...who also has a very nice intelligent wife. It's a nice change to see from the silent 'arm-candy' role of the past.

Dave, Chicago, IL, USA

No one takes him seriously except the people who elected him to the House, I guess. Hey, wait a minute, who cares who you take seriously?

Paul, Bretton, CO

I'm amazed that anyone could consider her, "as loopy as they come," maybe because they aren't old enough to remember Mrs. Reagan, while 1st lady, using an astrologer to advise her husband on how to run the country.

It's hard to imagine anyone doing a worse job of running the U.S. than George W. Bush has done. (although he has done a decent job for some of the wealthy folks...and it is possible for someone to do a worse job.)

I don't think I'll be voting for DK, but Elizabeth would be a welcome personality to our networks' news!

Joe, Buffalo, NY

WE HAVE A WINNER !!!! And not for President, for utter, sheer insanity.

Carmen, Nashville,

He has my vote. Dennis would be far better in The White House than the present occupant!

Kim Righetti, Upland, Calif. USA

David,

I am quite certain as a resident of the City of Cleveland, and survivor of the Kucinich administration, that you have no idea what you are talking about.

Dennis Kucinich was not only the worst mayor the city has ever had, he is also an embarassment to all people in Cleveland. He is only overshadowed in inefectiveness by his fellow Cleveland representative to Congress Stephanie Tubbs-Jones.

Jim Roth , Cleveland, Ohio, USA

If dmc, WI would read Kucinich's issues at Kucinich.us, he may not consider him so loopy. Also any person who has the courage to file articles of impeachment, quite deservedly, against the US vice president as Kucinich did in April, has my unending respect and admiration, and my vote. The press seemingly has a moratorium against writing anything about Kucincich; my take is that they are afraid that once the citizens find out about him they won't be able to stop the momentum.

mtf, Cairo, NY, USA

Life's not fair, because he wasn't such a bad mayor, but if Kucinch is known for anything by Americans, is that he was the mayor of Cleveland when the river running through the Rust Belt city became so polluted it actually caught fire. He soon went from becoming one of the youngest big-city mayors in America to one of the youngest ex-big-city mayors.
David Olive, Toronto

David Olive, Toronto, Ontario

This is hilarious. This broad is about as loopy as they come. What she truly doesn't realize is that nobody here in the US has taken Dennis Kucinch seriously since he was mayor of Cleveland (thats almost 30 years ago). No one takes him seriously now either. Hence the reason I'm not worried about either of them assuming a position of power.

But thanks for the laugh of the day...
