Johnson County Makes it Five: Kucinich To BBQ Oct. 6

Johnson County Makes it Five: Kucinich To BBQ Oct. 6

Throw a veggie burger on the grill: Dennis Kucinich is making a not-too-common Iowa Campaign stop this Saturday in Iowa City for the Johnson County Democrats' barbecue.

Kucinich's last stop in the state was in mid-August, when he spoke at a labor event in Cedar Rapids and participated in a Des Moines debate.

Kucinich is the fifth presidential candidate to confirm attendance at the event, where he'll join Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards and Bill Richardson. Barack Obama (who's visiting Johnson County Tuesday and Wednesday instead) is sending reigning Oscar Best Actor Forest Whitaker.

Joe Biden will be at a Delaware charity event, but three of his children, including Delaware attorney general Beau Biden, will represent his campaign. Johnson County Democrats are still awaiting a response from the Mike Gravel campaign.
