Odd Couple of the Day

Sometimes Politics makes strange bedfellows and today's vote on a resolution sponsored by Congressman Rothman is no different.  The resolution condemned Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and accused him of attempting to inspire genocide.

The bill passed by a vote of 411-2.  The 2 no votes were from Texas Republican Presidential Candidate/Congressman Ron Paul and Ohio Democratic Presidential Candidate/Congressman Dennis Kucinich.  I can't imagine its very often you see the 2 of them agreeing on many issues

Both should drop out of their respective party's primary race and run an independent fusion campaign in the general election.

Imagine a general election season with the following  candidates (P/VP).

(D) Hillary Clinton/Bill Richardson
(R) Rudy Giuliani/Fred Thompson
(I) Mike Bloomberg/Chuck Hagel
(I) Al Gore/Barack Obama
(I) John McCain/Joe Lieberman
(I) Dennis Kucinich/Ron Paul (or vice versa)
(I) Ralph Nader/Cynthia McKinney

Add instant runoff voting (IRV) to the mix and we might actually be able to remove our democracy from life support.
