Dennis Kucinich Goes Home 

With word coming yesterday that everyone’s favorite Democrat candidate, Dennis Kucinich, is dropping out of the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination, Americans everywhere are in mourning.  Mr. Kucinich’s antics, such as the zany story about seeing a UFO with Shirley MacLaine or parading about Manchester, New Hampshire with Viggo Mortensen - have raised eyebrows and drawn chuckles throughout the Presidential campaign season.  However, the postscript on Rep. Kucinich’s candidacy is clearly one of honesty: he campaigned on what he believes, and does not simply repeat poll-tested, whatever it takes to get elected platitudes.  Perhaps Mr. Kucinich should have been allowed to keep participating in the debates so that Senator Clinton could have learned a thing or two.

It’s Straw Poll Day
