Reporters’ Roundtable Takes on the Tenth, Round Two
Aired Thursday, February 21, 2008
Last week, listeners had a lot to say to two of the candidates for the 10th congressional district. Questions covered everything from jobs to gay marriage to the war in Iraq. This Thursday, we'll give you a chance for a little more quality time with two more candidates: Cleveland Councilman Joe Cimperman and incumbent Congressman Dennis Kucinich. We'll start at 9 o'clock, right here on 90.3.

Guests:
Candidates: Cleveland Councilman Joe Cimperman and incumbent Congressman Dennis Kucinich
Reporters: WKYC Channel 3's Tom Beres and ideastream's Kymberli Hagelberg

5. Don't know about the last two

but nothing from moveon or DNC.

W/the exception of Chris Dodd, all of my "presidential campaign" money has gone to Dennis.

C'mon, Cleveland, keep him in our Congress!

6. The committee he would get money from is the DCCC, not the DNC

You should check with them.

[rhett o rick]

7. Understand but the DNC has a lot of power and it would be interesting who they are supporting. nm

8. They support New Democrats and pro-war candidates

only. They did it in IL anyway. If they supported all Democrats we would have a lot more in the Congress today. Dean and Emanuel screwed up big time.

[madfloridian]

10. It harms all of us when you get committees confused and spread untrue things.

It is just wrong.

The senate committee DSCC supports the senate candidates. The house committee DCCC supports house candidates.

Yes, they do tend to support New Dems...but NOT the DNC. They do not support candidates financially except in selected races.

Right now all the DNC money must go to get ready for convention.

[madfloridian]

9. They are probably having to put every penny into getting ready for a nominee.

The fundraising has suffered in many ways because the grassroots have let them down. They blamed the DNC for congressional votes they could do nothing about, yet the other committees and the candidates have racked up big money from corporations who see no need to contribute the DNC under Dean's plan.

The problem as many see it is that most do not yet see the true benefit of the 50 state plan. I have a feeling the organizing is responsible in part for the huge turnouts at the polls. There are on the ground plans in place. The salaries cost money.

Dean has outraised other equivalent years, but he is spending on building the party.

Hopefully after there is a nominee, some of the grassroots will donate to the DNC. He was counting on netroots financial support to build the base of the party back, but they chose to blame because Congress did not show a spine. Kind of sad. If there were time, it would work.

11. Dennis has the AFL-CIO the People and

Sean Penn. His opponnent is getting a great deal of money in a short period of time. I suspect it is corporate money but have no hard facts.

[rhett o rick]

12. Is the Democratic party machine supporting him or throwing him under the bus? nm

[Tom Joad]

13. PDA yes. DNC? are you kidding me? they hate his peace-loving guts

[rhett o rick]

14. You mean to tell me Nancy Pelosi and Dennis K. don't get along? nm

[Tom Joad]

16. Dennis is anti-fascist.

[eridani]

17. PDA is definitely helping
