While most politicians cite “spending more time with their family” as the reason why they give up their political aspirations, in Dennis’s case, spending more time with his wife probably is (and should be) the actual reason. Oh, how I miss the sites in New Hampshire.
Say what you will about Ralph Nader, but I would like him to go away. Run for Senate, run for Dog Catcher, run for the School Board for all I care…just PLEASE stay out of the 2008 election!
No one cares if you don’t like Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton hasn’t won anything yet, so please Ralph, stay away!

Dennis Kucinich, everyone’s favorite fire truck riding Presidential candidate was dissed in a major way this past weekend. The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Kuku’s hometown newspaper which has been supportive of his candidacies for many years, withdrew its endorsement of the incumbent in 2006 to instead support his primary opponent, Barbara Anne Ferris.
It is extremely unusual for a newspaper to withdraw its endorsement from an incumbent it has supported for years - the more so when that officeholder is a congressman with an international reputation, and the race is a primary election that he almost certainly will win.
