1. thanks

i thought that was interesting. wasn't really surprised about edwards and kerry's most prized possession, especially edwards. i loved kerry adding his wedding band as one of them. they both seem to be home type guys from their list of favorite vacation places also.

2. Simple things

Rep. Dennis Kucinich: Original copy of 1903 Cleveland Mayor Tom Johnson's autobiography, "My Story."

A book. A man after my own heart. My most prized "things" are my books.


Rep. Dennis Kucinich: A few days at home in Ohio

Time out of the busy schedule to just be at home. In the house he paid $22,000 or so for.
