BOSTON, Massachusetts (Reuters) -- He may be trailing in his bid for president, but Ohio Democrat and bachelor Dennis Kucinich could soon be king of the lonely hearts after describing his ideal first lady at a debate last week.
A political Web site, www.PoliticsNH.com, said Friday it had begun accepting personal ads for the 57-year-old candidate, who pleaded for an outspoken, dynamic mate during a Wednesday forum on women's issues with other Democratic presidential contenders in New Hampshire.
"As a bachelor, I get a chance to fantasize about my first lady," Kucinich said. "I would definitely want someone who would not just be there by my side, but be a working partner because I think we're in a day and age when partnerships are imperative to making anything happen in the world."
"And I certainly want a dynamic, outspoken woman who was fearless in her desire for peace in the world and for universal single-payer health care and a full employment economy," the four-term congressman told the forum. "If you are out there, call me."
PoliticsNH.com said it would let its readers vote on the ideal mate for Kucinich, and if he agreed, it would fly the lucky lady to New Hampshire and treat the couple to dinner.
