One day when I was a college student circa 1995, I found a copy of Ed Wood's "Plan 9 from Outer Space" at a video store (that was what we had before dvds, kids) in Radford, Va.
I heard that there were several scenes featuring Hungarian-born actor Bela Lugosi (aka the original Dracula) even though he had died during filming.
Wood apparently decided to use his chiropractor in place of Lugosi and have him hold a vampire cape up to his face so no one would know he wasn't Bela.
Enter Dennis Kucinich.
He dropped out the Democratic race several weeks ago to maintain his Ohio Congressional seat which is being challenged even from within his own party. Kucinich actually fared better than Fred Thompson (in terms of votes. I am aware that they are in different parties) in the New Hampshire Primary, but he was still getting about one or two percent of the Jeffersonian party's vote.
But, according to the public radio series "Weekend America," scheduled to air nationally tomorrow, the Kucinich campaign in Washington state is still up and running!
Their hope is apparently that their views will somehow influence Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama in their platform after they either gets the nomination to go against (highly) likely Republican candidate John McCain (sorry, Mike Huckabee fans, the man upstairs and Chuck Norris can only help him so much!).
The promotional email for "Weekend America" asks the question: "Are they delusional or nobly crusading on behalf of their ideals?"
I guess if you live in Walla Walla, you can decide for yourself when Washington state holds its caucuses tomorrow. I must admit its confusing as to who gets primaries and who gets caucuses!
Alas, North Carolina doesn't hold a presidential primary until May 6 which will be four weeks after the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments conclude (and, basketball in NC is bigger than soccer in Rio de Janeiro, so I guess I should readjust my priorities!).
My home state of Virginia has one on Tuesday, and this year it will actually mean something unless you happen to be a Republican.........
