According to the following article, Congressman Dennis Kucinch, best known for his leftist philosophies and impeachment attempts, has dropped out of the race for President of the United States in 2008.
Quote:
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. In an exclusive interview with Plain Dealer editors and reporters, Kucinich said he will explain his "transition" tomorrow.
"I want to continue to serve in Congress," he said.
Kucinich said he will not endorse another Democrat in the primary.
Kucinich is seeking a seventh term in Congress, but his long-shot bid for the White House has drawn four Democratic opponents.

I will continue to support Congressman Kucinich in his various endeavors, as I believe him to be a man of conscience and a capable leader, but my support for president in 2008 will now be shifting behind Senator Barack Obama.
I must admit that this is disappointing. Dennis Kucinich, to me, represented a welcomed vacation from the land of the lesser of two evils. I don't normally find myself agreeing with a politician on so many of his or her ideas.
Thoughts? Besides the obvious "it was inevitable" comments, of course, as even I knew that he had no chance whatsoever.
