Former Cleveland mayor Dennis Kucinich may have abandoned his White House bid on Friday, but he is not ready to stop campaigning.
The long-shot presidential candidate during a press conference said, “I’m directing my energies to being re-elected to the Congress of the United States.”
The Ohio congressman has now spent two of his past three congressional terms running for president, so he might feel heat from critics who feel he has not effectively served his constituency while chasing the Oval Office.
Kucinich has declined to rule out or confirm any future runs for president, but I know I will miss his under-supported campaign and his being ignored by the media and Democratic party.
In memorandum, here is a YouTube video that compares Kucinich’s efforts to those of aliens running for president in a season eight Halloween episode of “The Simpsons.” Goodbye, Kucinich. Your whirling without strings will be sorely missed.
I love this post. It gives news, background and a look at the future. Plus, the video is adorable. I really like the tone of your blog; it’s easy to forget that I’m reading and not just talking to a friend.
The one note I could give you is that in your Jan. 23 post you waited until the end to mention the allegation that Ron Paul had called Martin Luther King Jr. an adulterer and a seducer of young children. I thought that was interesting enough to be moved up.
Your blog has kept a consistent theme, though I worry that with candidates dropping out left and right you might find yourself running low on material.
Using quotes breaks up your text well. You could also use bold text. You use links well, though you could identify where they go so that readers can evaluate whether they want to click on them.
In general, your blog is great. Non-mainstream candidates deserve coverage, and you make your topic interesting to read.
