      Kucinich Moves to Impeach Bush

      January 2009 can't come soon enough for Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich. The onetime presidential hopeful read 35 articles of impeachment against President Bush into the Congressional record last night, Politico reports, but House leaders say the idea is “off the table." Kucinich, who has previously sought to impeach Dick Cheney, accused Bush of war crimes, and other illegal acts. More »

      May-December Effect Is Real

      The older men are when they walk down the aisle, the more likely they are to have a younger bride, according to a new study. Famous May-December pairings usually involve the rich and famous—think Donald Trump or Larry King—but the trend holds up at every income level, the San Jose Mercury News reports. More »

      Kucinich Fights Off Challenge for His Seat

      Supporters of Dennis Kucinich had reason to worry about last night's primary for the congressional seat he's held for 12 years: with the Democratic gadfly away on the presidential campaign trail for so long, four rivals had built up a formidable challenge. But Kucinich weathered the onslaught to win the nomination, the Plain Dealer reports. More »

      Under Fire, Kucinich Fights for House Seat

      Ex-presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is battling no fewer than four contenders competing for his House seat in tomorrow's primary—and battling accusations that he abandoned Cleveland during his White House bid, Salon reports. Kucinich counters by saying that local issues are national: "Is this war not an issue for Cleveland? Is health care not a Cleveland issue?" More »

      Guess Who: Ralph Flirts With Bid

      Well, hello again: Ralph Nader has revealed an exploratory presidential website, telling Politico that Dennis Kucinich’s exit leaves an electoral niche that might just fit him. Said the consumer advocate-turned-third-partier, "We’re testing the waters on the overriding issue of corporate control, of our political economy, and anything else the dogma of commercialism wants to latch on to.” More »

      Kucinich Drops From Race

      With few votes to show for his efforts and facing a tough congressional re-election fight, left-leaning Dennis Kucinich said today he's dropping out of the Democratic presidential race. Kucinich, a six-term Ohio congressman, told the Cleveland Plain Dealer he's leaving the race for practical reasons, though he's "been able to do more than hold my own." More »

      Kucinich, Paul Challenged on Home Front

      While Dennis Kucinich is out on the presidential campaign trail, no fewer than four Democrats in his Ohio home district are mounting primary challenges for the longtime congressman's seat, Politico reports. And though Ron Paul's anti-war stance and unconventional views have drawn a fervent national following, conservative voters in his home district in Texas are taking a second look at their rep.

      Dems to Debate; No Kucinich

      The Nevada Supreme Court ruled that the Democratic debate can go on tonight without Dennis Kucinich, the New York Times reports. The debate will include only Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards. Kucinich sought either to be included in the debate or to force its cancellation. The debate starts at 9pm EST on MSNBC.

      Candidates Talk Health Care, But Not Their Own

      With health insurance heating up campaign trails, NPR takes a look at how the candidates are covered, and finds not all of them forthcoming. Sitting senators are eligible for a federal plan, which is good but no panacea—packed with co-pays and deductibles. John Edwards reports he and his family are covered through his campaign. But Romney, Huckabee, and Thompson declined to share details about their own coverage, or those of their staffs. More »

      Count 'Em Again, Says Kucinich

      Longshot Democratic hopeful Dennis Kucinich wants the ballots recounted in the New Hampshire primary, The Hill reports. While he's not under any illusions that a recount would boost his own number—less than 2%—significantly, he says in a letter to the NH secretary of state there are “serious and credible reports, allegations, and rumors" about the vote's integrity.

      Obama, Clinton Dead Even in NH, Poll Finds

      Buoyed by the Iowa caucuses, Barack Obama picked up three points to claim a third of Democratic support in New Hampshire, and move into a tie with Hillary Clinton at 33%. John Edwards also benefited from Iowa in the latest CNN poll, moving up three points to 20%, while Bill Richardson follows with 4%. John McCain heads a more spread-out Republican field. More »

      Ralph Nader Likes Edwards, But Nobody Likes Nader

      Ralph Nader took Hillary Clinton to the woodshed and heaped praise on John Edwards this week for his anti-corporate courage, but Edwards wasn't exactly trumpeting the support. Nader hasn't been forgiven for siphoning off vital votes from Gore in 2000, the Los Angeles Times reports. "Can't we get one of Dennis Kucinich's UFOs to beam him up?" asked strategist Rick Taylor.

      Willie Nelson's High on Kucinich

      White House hopeful Dennis Kucinich has gained Willie Nelson’s support in his federal lawsuit to get on the Texas primary ballot. The Ohio congressman wasn’t having any of the Texas application’s pledge to support the eventual Dem nominee—so he scratched it out. Now Nelson has joined up Kucinich's challenge of the ensuing snub, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. More »

      Obama Wins Iowa; Edwards 2nd, Clinton Close 3rd

      Riding a record turnout of young, independent and new voters, Barack Obama decisively won the Democratic caucuses in Iowa last night, with John Edwards narrowly edging out Hillary Clinton for second. With all Democratic precincts reporting, Obama, aiming to be the first black president of the United States, prevailed with a commanding 38%; Edwards took 30% and Clinton 29%, CNN reports. More »

      Impeach Cheney Resolution Hits House Floor

      Dennis Kucinich's dogged campaign to impeach Dick Cheney had its moment in the spotlight today, when Kucinich brought his bill to to the House floor and, with an unexpected assist from Republicans hoping to embarrass the majority party, it was nearly opened for debate. GOP members voted to allow debate and came close to prevailing, before Democrat Steny Hoyer offered a motion to refer the bill back to committee. More »

      Obama Plays Himself on SNL

      Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama turned up the heat on frontrunner Hillary Clinton last night on "Saturday Night Live" when he appeared in the opening sketch—a Halloween party thrown by a faux Bill and Hillary and attended by faux Democratic candidates—as himself.  Everyone was in costume, including Barack, who wore an Obama mask, then ripped it off to reveal the real thing.

      Class Appeal: Why Dennis Kucinich Keeps Hanging On

      It's a truism that Dennis Kucinich doesn't fit the coiffed presidential mold. He is plainspoken, pro-union, vegan; his wife has a tongue ring. Kucinich is "poor beyond corruption and honest as spit, hauling balls big enough to … choke Dick Cheney," Esquire 's Scott Raab writes of a man certain he'll be not only the Democrats' 2008 nominee but the next US president.

      He's Not Alone: Kucinich Ain't First Pol to Spot UFO

      Dennis Kucinich is already treated as a bit of an alien by the other presidential contenders; it only got worse at this week's forum when interrogator Tim Russert pushed him about Shirley MacLaine’s claim that he saw a UFO at her home. A trapped Kucinich offered tersely, “I did.” But before he moves campaign headquarters to Roswell, as he joked he would, the LA Times points out that he's not alone. More »
