Cleveland Congressman Dennis Kucinich is dropping out of the Democratic race for president.

Kucinich will make the announcement Friday at a news conference in Cleveland. In an exclusive interview with Plain Dealer editors and reporters, Kucinich said he will explain his "transition" tomorrow.

"I want to continue to serve in Congress," he said.

Kucinich said he will not endorse another Democrat in the primary.

Kucinich is seeking a seventh term in Congress, but his long-shot bid for the White House has drawn four Democratic opponents.

1. And naturally it will be someone else's fault that his campaign never caught fire

The mean old MSM for excluding him from debates after, and only after, the voting had begun, revealing his support to be negligible.

Or the Diebold voting machines.

Let the excuse making begin...

2. That seems a bit mean spirited.

5. That's funny

I hear that whine coming from Edwards' supporters now.

Still, I guess I don't have much choice now but to support a corporate candidate. I'll probably vote Edwards if he's still in by the time he gets to Pennsylvania. I have my doubts.

7. The mean old MSM for excluding him from debates..

3. And he'll probably endose Obama.

This will help Obama in CA.

On edit: He says he will not endorse another candidate. Didn't he
ask his supporters in Iowa to vote for Obama as a second choice?

4. I wish he would endorse Edwards. n/t

6. I am going to support Edwards now that Kucinich is dropping out.

Kucinich was my #1 candidate.
