Kucinich in South Carolina

Even though he engendered only minuscule support in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, Congressman Kucinich may have peaked. Based upon the following report, his South Carolina campaign must be considered embarassing.

Kucinich's appearance yesterday at a student political forum at South Carolina's oldest historically black college was so sparsely attended that its organizer urged attendees to sit in the front row to avoid spoiling a video of the event.

And, most of the journalists who questioned Kucinich after a candidates forum in Columbia were kids reporting for children's publications. Yet the Congressman is undeterred, stating:

"My plan is to continue to run and gather delegates wherever I can. I think this election is going all the way to the convention. If nobody gets to the convention with half the delegates, it will be anyone's election. I think the war will be a bigger issue by then, and my consistent and clear challenge to the White House will be in demand by people in the party. That is the issue that will take me to the nomination."

We'll see. Although his political philosophy resonates with very few people, he appears sufficiently dedicated to continue in the campaign.
