Kucinich Wins Over Date Contestant
A much-watched first date for presidential hopeful Dennis J. Kucinich ended with kisses on the cheek and an endorsement.
A Web site, PoliticsNH.com, chose Gina Marie Santore over nearly 80 other contestants for a date with the twice-divorced Ohio congressman.
Kucinich, 57, told reporters Santore’s endorsement was more significant than Al Gore’s backing of Howard Dean.
Santore, 34, of Maple Shade, N.J., called herself a lifelong Democrat and said Kucinich attracted her because his views were “intoxicating.”
