And the Democratic presidential race just got infinitely more boring than it already is...

In what is probably the biggest news of the week, Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has dropped from the race, supposedly to transition into running for re-election in Congressa:

Representative Dennis J. Kucinich has decided to end his long-shot presidential bid, thinning the Democratic field, and allowing him to focus on a contested race for re-election in his Ohio Congressional district.

In an interview with The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Mr. Kucinich said Thursday that he would hold a news conference Friday in Cleveland to announce that he was "transitioning out of the presidential campaign."

Mr. Kucinich, who campaigned on a strong antiwar message, was never able to gain much traction in the polls. He was excluded from the recent Democratic debates in New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina as networks tightened the rules for participation. The televised debates had been the main venue for getting out his campaign's message.

...

Mr. Kucinich ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004. He told The Plain Dealer on Thursday that he would not endorse another Democrat in the presidential primary.

Peace out, man.
