I wonder if Ron Paul will get a bump in the polls with Dennis dropping out.

Sad to say but this whack job received more votes in the primaries than Duncan Hunter.

I wonder how intense speculation will be about who he endorses.... /s

The only man that could truly change America falls on his sword. He’s a hero.

If only he would.

This means Kucinich is following Timothy Leary’s advice after tuning in and turning on.

Sad to see the great hope of woodland creatures everywhere get deep-sixed by an ungrateful nation. Wonder who Grandfather Twilight’s going to endorse now?

He told his supporters in Iowa to make Obama their second choice, so it’s a pretty good guess who he’s rooting for.

Where is this guy's spine? His mentor, Pat Paulson, would have never dropped out. He'd fight to the bitter end.

What are we going to do for comic relief now?

Kucinich vows to keep fighting for causes Posted by Molly Kavanaugh January 25, 2008 14:28PM John Kuntz/The Plain Dealer U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who has bowed out of the presidential race, with his wife, Elizabeth. Rep. Dennis Kucinich officially ended his yearlong quest for the White House Friday by pledging that his energy will be devoted to winning a seventh term in Congress. Kucinich made his announcement surrounded by family members and about 50 supporters at the International Laborers' Union hall on Euclid Ave. The 61-year-old congressman announced the creation of a national organization, Integrity Now, which will continue to push his presidential campaign agenda of ending the war in Iraq. Kucinich said all the energy that had gone into his presidential campaign could now be "transitioned" to the new group. He gave few details of the organization but said his wife, Elizabeth, would play a major role, and he urged people to visit integritynow.org. He said that being shut out of presidential debates coupled with a recent meeting with local labor leaders convinced him that it was time to focus on returning to Congress. He ended his 35-minute press conference, saying "I'm glad to be back."
