Kucinich Announces Run For Re-Election

That's what his dropping out of the race means. He's in a somewhat tough primary fight in Ohio in March, and needs to go back to his district and work for re-election.

Kucinich was not as important to the debate in 2008 than in 2004. He did little to push the debate to the left; Edwards did the heavy lifting here. And he barely campaigned. He spent more time fighting to get into debates than actually talking to the voters and building the support necessary to get into the debates. And he never used the Internet to any degree to get his ideas validated, in the way that Ron Paul did.

I wish him luck in his re-election campaign.
