Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), the boy wonder who was elected mayor of Cleveland at 31, is running for President again, as he did in 2004. He has no chance of getting the Democratic nomination, which in his case is liberating. Unlike the other candidates, who have to be respectful to everyone and all ideas, no matter how nutty, Kucinich just says what he thinks. He is an unabashed old-school liberal and has a very detailed program he is running on, including immediate removal of all U.S. troops from Iraq, a single-payer health system for all Americans, legalizing same-sex marriage, and more. His main problem is that with a real horse race this time between Hillary, Obama, Edwards, and maybe others, few Democrats are likely to make a protest vote for him when they actually have a real choice in influencing who the nominee is. Nevertheless, his campaign will put some ideas on the table, however unpopular they may be in some quarters now.
Again, Kucinich got little to no attention throughout the primary process, and finally withdrew.
