Kucinich Loses Democratic Primary in New Ohio District 
-------------------------------------------------------



In other notable elections around the country, Democratic Rep. Dennis
Kucinich was defeated in a primary against Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur.
The two were forced to square off after Republicans re-drew Ohio's
Congressional map to form a new district. Kaptur will now face Samuel
Wurzelbacher, winner of the district's Republican primary. Wurzelbacher
gained notoriety as "Joe the Plumber" during the 2008 presidential
campaign, despite not actually being a licensed plumber.
