"We are losing our nation to a war based on lies, to destruction of our civil liberties and to massive debt.  I tried to get these themes into the debates.  But I was locked out of six debates.  In each and every early primary state, in Iowa, in New Hampshire,  Nevada, South Carolina and California, the American people were denied an opportunity to know that there is a way our of Iraq, there are plans to restore our economy, there is a practical health care plan which means the end of premiums, co-pays and deductibles.  But there was no way to get the message out.  Workers here know about lockouts.  They stop you from being heard."  

With these words and a promise that he will win the people's battle for jobs, health care, peace and democracy, Dennis Kucinich officially dropped out of the Democratic race for President.  His name remains on the primary ballots. Votes for Kucinich in the primaries will result in delegates for  Kucinich and the causes he supported and are expected to send a message to corporate America.  Liberal Democratic caucus-goers are vowing to caucus only for Kucinich.  Across America, Democrats angry at corporate candidates are vowing that the only Democrat they will support for President is Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich.  In the words of one new voter, "Voting for any of the corporate trio, Edwards, Clinton or Obama, is throwing away your vote."

The corporate media, with the support of the Democratic Party power structure, has built up John Edwards as the Media Golden Boy and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama as Superstars.   Edwards was the one who came up with the idea for excluding anti-war voices from the debates and the media did as Edwards wished.  Edwards, clearly the media favorite, has received no negative publicity at this point in the campaign.  For the time being, the media appears to be holding back attacks on Edwards  regrading possible misuse of poverty funds and a soon-to-be-born illegitimate child.  Obama has received some criticism while Clinton receives mostly negative publicity.  What these three media favorites all have in common is that the media has kept the public aware of their existence.  The media has let voters know these candidates are in the race for President.  Through exclusion, the media has pretended all other candidates dropped out of the race long ago.

In addition to debate exclusions, voters have observed serious irregularities with Kucinich's vote counts and what appears to be massive fraud to undercount his vote.  In New Hampshire, Kucinich's vote count went down as if the percentage had been predetermined and the votes had to be subtracted to bring him down to the required percentage..  Later, during the recount, it was discovered  that the chain of votes was broken and the ballots were subjected to the likelihood of tampering.  Even worse, machines which have been shown to be completely untrustworthy were used to tabulate the votes.

On January 22, 2008, the Patrick Henry Democratic Club of America, widely considered the most progressive Democratic club in America, unanimously called for a criminal investigation into the debate exclusions.  Their resolution calls for  California Attorney General Jerry Brown, California Secretary of State Debra Bowen, the US Department of Justice, the Federal Elections Commission and the Federal Communications Commission to conduct criminal investigations of all persons and organizations connected to the debates.  It is the position of the Democratic members of that club that the exclusion of candidates from the debates constitutes election fraud and election tampering.

While Democratic liberals plan to vote for Kucinich in their primaries, the main beneficiaries of their general election votes are expected to be Congressman Ron Paul and  Former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney.  McKinney filed Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice in 2006.   Most of the liberal Democrats are expected to cross over to vote for McKinney in the general election.  It was pointed up that, until Abraham Lincoln won, the Republicans were a third party.  One voter pointed out that those deciding between a black and a woman could have both with Cynthia McKinney.  There is still a hope that Kucinich will re-enter the race as an independent or that he will be drafted from the floor of the national convention.

Congressman Kucinich has an impressive Congressional record and is widely considered to be the conscience or the soul of the Congress.  He has sponsored or co-sponsored bills to bring about universal, single-payer health care, end the war in Iraq, abolish nuclear weapons, abolish the death penalty, impeach Dick Cheney and much more.  On January 28, 2008, he plans to introduce Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush.

Dennis Kucinich is considered the youth rights candidate as he has supported the youth on each and every critical issue from lowering the voting age to opposing a ban on internet use.   Youth support is expected to go to Cynthia McKinney in the general  election as she and Kucinich are the only two Presidential candidates who have expressed support for lowering the voting age.  Mike Gravel, like Kucinich, has expressed support for lowering the drinking age but hasn't said where he stands on the voting age.

Many liberal Democrats have already written their version of the eulogy for the Democratic Party.  To more and more Democrats, the prospect for a Democratic victory in November looks pretty dim.
