denis kucinich was the celebrity judge of the cookie bake off put on by foodfight, portland's vegan grocery store. he's vegan--the only one o i know of in congress--so it was fitting that he was the judge. the best part was his anecdote about traveling around the us campaigning and coming to portland and finding vegan marshmallows.
i got a quick interview with him that i'll turn into a a news story for kpsu. i'm going to peg it on the story of how the whole event came together. the food fight people had been planning an event to celebrate the opening of their new neighbor, otsu, so when kucinich's campaign manager came down to buy more of the marshmallows they were like "damn we know what were' gonna do" and it just came together.
on a personal note, i was really impressed with him, he was funny, well spoken, and in touch with the issues. if i was a registered democrat (and right now i'm wishing i was) he'd have my vote in the primary.
