Kucinich undaunted by fifth-place showing

By JASON CLAFFEY

DOVER — Dennis Kucinich's fifth-place showing in Tuesday's primary won't mean much to his presidential bid, as he vowed to continue campaigning across the country for the Democratic nomination despite capturing a low percentage of the New Hampshire vote.

During a televised primary rally Tuesday night at Jillian's in Manchester, Kucinich said he would continue to focus on his policies, including instituting a universal, single-payer health-care system and canceling the North American Free Trade Agreement.

During an editorial board meeting with Foster's last week, Kucinich said: "I'm running (from) inside the Democratic party to challenge the party. I haven't been someone who on the campaign trail has railed about Republicans because the fact of the matter is, I see the flaws within my party and want to make it effective in the two-party system, and it hasn't been."

... while receiving 1/100th the press. Not too shabby.

Da Nile?

I like that he is still running because issues like gay civil rights and impeachment are not left completely out.

He was a huge long shot to begin with, Nothing has changed.

You are the only real progressive in the race.

Kucinich showed during the Iraq War debate that he knows how to work the backrooms, as well as be a spokesperson for progressive causes.

I wish he'd have concentrated on that role, instead of doing another run for the nomination.
