Kucinich to seek White House
U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich is running for president yes -- of the United States.
Hell make it official Tuesday from Cleveland City Hall, the site of his political birth and his biggest public embarrassment.
Kucinich, who was easily re-elected to Congress in last month, ran unsuccessfully for president in the 2004 presidential primary. He was among the last to drop out despite winning only a handful of delegates.
Although Democratic Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton are sucking up media attention, Kucinich is sure to grab some because he becomes only the second Democrat to officially declare his presidential bid. Iowas outgoing governor Tom Vilsack announced earlier this month that wants to live in the White House.
Kucinich, who began his political career as a city councilman in 1970 and later watched the city slide into default as mayor, has earned a national reputation for his anti-war stance and a proposal to create a cabinet level department of peace.

Dennis Kucinich recklessly wasting more of the taxpayers money on his stupid lust for political power.
On the upside, I will get to troll his message boards again. :)

Yes, my first reaction IS to laugh out loud. How foolish these liberals appear, when they listen to their own press.

I'm not real high on Kucinich but I think the Democrats should run an Obama/Kucinich ticket for 2008.
