Kucinich quits presidential race
CLEVELAND (AP) - January 24, 2008 "I will be announcing that I'm transiting out of the
presidential campaign," Kucinich said. "I'm making that
announcement tomorrow about a new direction."
Kucinich, who was elected to the House in 1996, faces a tough
race for re-election.
Kucinich, 61, was making his second bid for his party's
nomination; he sought the nod in 2004. He registers in low single
digits in polls and has raised little money for what is considered
another long-shot run. Kucinich, who is known for his liberal
views, has attracted a devoted following.
His decision comes a month after his youngest brother, Perry
Kucinich, was found dead.
Kucinich said he will not endorse another Democrat in the
primary.
