Cleveland Congressman Dennis Kucinich is dropping out of the Democratic race for president.

Kucinich will make the announcement Friday at a news conference in Cleveland.......

[NCC-1701]

‘Bout time.

[adm5]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Red Badger]

Translation: I’m BROKE!...................

[Slapshot68]

Who?

[bshomoic]

No. Better translation is he’s worried about losing his House seat in the primary.

[DoughtyOne]

Evidently his bid wasn’t high enough.

[RC2]

Awwww shucks. You mean we can’t have a communist for President?

[The_Victor]

Gotta focus full time on the Bush impeachment.

[Shryke]

But...who will defend us when the Martians come to take his wife back?

[americanophile]

I fear for the survival of the Republic.

[JoshM99]

What? The ET vote wasn’t enough?

[Fresh Wind]

Let not your heart be troubled. This is just laying the groundwork for a Paul/Kuchinich ticket!

[ejonesie22]

Makes sense, has to drop before becomming Paul’s running mate.

[ElkGroveDan]

He’s going to endorse Ron Paul.

[trisham]

Good thing he made the announcement.

[Lurker]

That distant popping sound you hear is the heads of 5,000 DUmmies exploding in rage....

[A. Morgan]

HaHa! HaHa!

[adorno]

You mean we can’t have a communist for President?

Who says? Hillary and Obama and Edwards are still running.

[ari-freedom]

wow that means he’s more rational than Ron Paul

[Puppage]

Kucinich Drops Presidential Bid

I guess that means more time he can devote to his Dept of Rainbows & Unicorns

[SmithL]

sniff

OK, I'm over it.

[A. Morgan]

That’s not saying much!

[nhoward14]

Is he going to endorse John McCain or Ron Paul?

[Arrowhead1952]

Another DUFU possibility. The DUmmies in Austin are deeply saddened.

[Our man in washington]

I feel sorry for whoever has to break the news to his supporter.

My suburb was redistricted into Dennis’s district after the 2000 census. For the first time since he was elected, Dennis has some serious opposition in the Dem primary. He’s been catching some heat in the local media for his presidential campaign travels and neglecting his district. But his four opponents will likely only split the anti-Dennis vote in the primary, unless they are able to coalesce around a single challenger.

Now that’s a visual I’d love to see played out in real life. }:-)

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Going to concentrate all his efforts now on the campaign for Interplanetary Overlord?

[henkster]

Love the Cleveland Indians; Jacobs Field is a beautiful park. And the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is a must-see.

Kooksinich shows that not everything in Cleveland is to my liking.

[tobyhill]

The UFO will be arriving soon to pick him up.

[Mount Athos]

[SJSAMPLE]

Now he’s got plenty of time to spend working on the crazy-hot amazon redhead wife.

[Squidpup]

Bizarre cruel world when Kookcinich lasts longer than Fred

[Hemorrhage]

The headline should read ...

“Dying with Dignity — Socialist weenie Dennis Kucinich has put his 2008 Presidential Campaign out of its misery.”

H

[Marcella]

Thank God he dropped out! He would have stomped the other three Democrat candidates and our candidates and won! Not. He wasn’t even worth a distraction.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

[Argus]

This leaves the important question:

Which lucky candidate will Sean Penn throw his support to now?

[LottieDah]

“Awwww shucks. You mean we can’t have a communist for President?”

Hillary is still running.

[svcw]

You have to wonder why RP is still in the race..oh wait its all the money he has, not many supporters but lots of money.

[gusopol3]

He must have lost the NH recount.

[PzLdr]

In related news, Charlie McCarthy, Howdy Doody, Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smith remain retired.

[Pharmboy]

LOL!!

[TChris]

Dennis... who?

[Reaganesque]

Click for a proper farewell.

[Jagman]

Today's headline: "Kucinich Drops Presidential Bid"

Tomorrow's headline: "Kuchinich wife drops Kuchinich!"

[inkling]

I’m still voting for his wife to be First Lady.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Kucinich dropping out will help Romney.

[Common Tator]

wow that means he’s more rational than Ron Paul

It just means Ron Paul has more money. Oh Dennis the menace is in a Gerrymandered District. It is a 70 to 30 Democrat district. Dennis could kill babies and rape Nuns and still get reelected.

Ohio is a very even state. There are as many Democrats as there are Republicans. Look at the 2004 election returns.

When Republicans redistricted the state in 1990 and again in 2000 they drew 6 districts where the Democrats are 70 percent of the voters. The remaining 12 districts were drawn so Republians are 54 percent of the voters. So in a normal year Republicans should win 12 seats to the Democrats 6.

They put as many Democrats as possible in a few districts and spread the Republicans out over as many of the remaining districts as possible. It is the way to win a majority of seats in an evenly divided state.
