Both (didn't vote)

EDIT: Voted Dennis just to piss off the anti-Kucinich sentiment here

Both are over-rated. I really just want Anthony Weiner back, he was great. Should have just fessed up to the dick pics from the beginning.

Grayson. He doesn't need to carpetbag, and besides he'd be sitting on what has *the potential* to become just an epic Fool's Gold District for well-funded, hyped Republicans failing and failing and failing to get over their 48%. Grin

Yep. Politicians who refuse to resign amidst a personal scandal force their party to stick with 'em. Spitzer should have done the same thing.

Anyway, I've always enjoyed Kucinich and have found him to be at least a somewhat effective advocate for a kind of left-wing view of things that typically isn't represented in American politics. This is in spite of his obvious eccentricity.

Grayson, on the other hand, comes across as a shrill, extremely negative, hyper-partisan jerk, much like his former colleague D. W-Schultz (and, for that matter, Allen West).

I guess I'll have to go with Grayson. Kucinich would be my preferred choice, but he disqualifies himself for taking rush decisions that often bring bad results. Kucinich has done a lot more stuff that's worth getting excited over though.

They're both irritating beyond belief, but provided I have to choose, I'll go with Kucinich. Less of an ass in my view, just barely. It's such a negligible difference though that I would switch my vote to Grayson if he brought back the goatee. Tongue

there's a key difference; a legislator ground can be cut from under him by party leadership through stripping of committee assignments.  an executive can only be forced out by supermajorities.

Kucinich easily.

Alan Grayson, though I will confess he did seem to be an actual progressive unlike 70% of his colleagues, comes across as an irritating horse's ass most of the time.

Grayson. While I generally like Kucinich's politics, he is kinda creepy. I like Grayson because he tells it like it is. But he has his faults too.

Neither, but Kucinich has the less revolting personality (from what I've noticed, anyway).
