I've just phoned the Kucinich for President headquarters...
And the gentleman who answered the phone says that he knows nothing about a withdrawal from the election, only that Dennis will be having a press conference tomorrow. Having promised to introduce impeachment proceedings against resident Bush on the day of the next SOTU address, Monday the 28th, this doesn't jibe.

I hope with all of my heart that Dennis is not leaving the race, especially in spite of the corporate activity against him nationally and locally.

As the other Democratic candidates did nothing to help him when NBC and others both invited and uninvited him, a candidate with more support than the always-invited-but-last-in-the-race Republicans, I don't know what to do regarding the next Presidential election.

If Dennis leaves the race, it will only consist of those who will not challenge the corporate desire to remain in Iraq indefinitely.

1. Don't get your hopes up. I saw a video of him at the interview with the Cleveland
newspaper and he said it then. I'm not sure if the video was from Dennis's websites or the newspaper's. I'm really sorry. :hug:

4. Yeah, as much as I would like NOT to believe anything the Plain Dealer says
There was no editing in Dennis's comments. He said he was "transitioning out of the Presidential campaign" and into something else, presumably the new articles of CHIMPEACHMENT he's about to file.

2. Fun fact: Dennis got more votes in NH than Fred Thompson
almost twice as many.

9. I think Fred might get more attention because he has a much-younger "trophy wife". n/t

7. That's what cracked me up
Dennis "trounces" Fred, and the media is.....? Out smookin' a doobie underneath the bleachers.

I wish I was smoking what the media has been smoking (but not inhaling).

:hi:

6. Multiple news outlets are reporting he's dropped out.
And the media never gets anything wrong.
