N.J. woman wins date with Rep. Kucinich

But ...

Quote:
| On the campaign trail in New Hampshire last month, the Ohio congressman and bachelor joked there could be a reality TV show to pick his first lady. Almost immediately, the Web sites PoliticsNH.com, which serves political junkies looking for the scoop on the first-in-the-nation primaries, and Liberalhearts.com, which serves lefties looking for love, commenced the search for a first lady for Kucinich. Eighty women applied, and the field was narrowed to two for the final vote Thursday and Friday. Santore received 54 percent of the roughly 20,000 votes, edging out Margie Jessup, a Milton, Wis., a woman who volunteers for Kucinich. ... (snip) .... She'll be flown to New Hampshire for dinner with the candidate. (A tip for Santore: Don't order steak, Kucinich is a vegetarian.) |

| As far as nuptials, there's one hindrance: Santore's boyfriend. He initially protested her entering the first lady race when he saw a picture of the 57-year-old former Cleveland mayor who's known for opposing most free trade agreements and supporting marijuana decriminalization. "He said, 'I don't understand. You're trying to go out with this guy?"' Santore reported. |
