Ohio Valley Politics

What was the name of that Eagles reunion tour back in the early 90’s?

I can’t believe it, Dennis Kucinich has actually dropped his presidential campaign to focus on his Congressional campaign. The official announcement comes tomorrow, but the Cleveland Plain Dealer broke the story with a video posted on their website.

Here’s a statement from Rosemary Palmer, one of the Democrats mounting a primary challenge to Kucinich.

As the Democratic Presidential primary campaign continues, I applaud Congressman Dennis Kucinich for his decision to step aside and let the voters choose between the three remaining candidates for our party’s nomination. While others cite his frequent presidential runs as their main motivation for entering the race for Congress, Mr. Kucinich’s move today will not affect my decision to vigorously challenge him for the position he currently holds.

I entered this race in June because I did not feel he was focused on the job, nor able to effect the change we so desperately need. On issues of job creation, health care, the environment, and the Iraq War, Mr. Kucinich often talks a good game but seldom delivers. The 10th Congressional District, and the entire Northeast Ohio region, need someone who less interested in making points and more interested in making change. I feel I best represent that change and welcome the opportunity to debate Mr. Kucinch and make my case to the voters over the next five weeks.
