WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich hasn't found love yet on the campaign trail. Then again, with his eye on the White House, he said Sunday he hasn't had much time for matchmaking.
The Ohio congressman, twice-divorced, said on ABC television that he has been flooded with responses from women wanting to date him but has had no time to meet any of them.
The Web site www.politicsnh.com opened a national contest to find a wife for Kucinich after a November 5 forum in New Hampshire in which the candidates were asked what role their first lady or spouse would play in their White House.
Kucinich took the opportunity to "fantasize" about his ideal first lady, saying he wants a dynamic, outspoken woman who wants world peace, health care for all and a full-employment economy.
"I have been hearing from a lot of people," he said Sunday. "I'm amazed by it all. It's like -- it's one of those things that just -- you know, what can I say?"
The New Hampshire Web site received some 80 essays, many with photos, of women seeking to go out with the presidential hopeful.
