Dennis Kucinich vanquished a Republican in a congressional district that is dominated by Democrats. He won re-election in 2002 with over 70% of the vote. The Republican that he beat was out of place in that district, so it is really not that big of a feat.
I personally think it is much more impressive that Edwards knocked off Faircloth in a very Republican state, or that Kerry was able to hold off William Weld. Weld was a Republican in arguably the most Democratic state in the country, and he was able to win re-election with 70%+ of the vote.
I think that both of these events were much more convincing than Dennis knocking off a Republican in a Democratic-dominated congressional district.
