Dennis Kucinich dropped out of the presidential race today. I knew he couldn't win, but I really liked having him around. As the only true progressive in the race, he brought progressive ideas to mainstream Democratic politics. When he was given the opportunity to sit at the big kids table it became clear just how moderate everyone else was. Kucinich was the only candidate who supported equal marriage rights for same-sex couples.
In a speech today, Kucinich announced a new initiative that will focus on pedestrian issues like peace, equal rights and universal healthcare. He called on his supporters to mobilize around these issues and "make the American dream more than a dream". All three of his supporters thought it was a pretty sweet idea.
