Kucinich getting out

Posted: 07:27 PM ET

Kucinich will formally drop out of the presidential race Friday.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Rep. Dennis Kucinich will announce he is abandoning his long shot bid for the White House in a news conference Friday, his campaign confirms to CNN.

In an interview with the Cleveland Plain-Dealer earlier Thursday, the Ohio Democrat said he plans on “transitioning out of the Democratic Presidential primary race" to focus on a "new direction."

His spokesman tells CNN the former presidential candidate is now gearing up for his congressional re-election campaign. Kucinich faces four candidates in a Democratic primary for his seat on March 4, and has faced criticism for devoting much of his attention to running for president.

In his interview with the Plain-Dealer, Kucinich said he will give a much lengthier statement Friday.

This was Kucinich's second bid for the White House — he first ran in 2004. The latest CNN Poll showed him drawing 3 percent of support among registered Democrats nationally.

Is "Communist" the new Rush label for any Democrat who isn't Obama or Clinton?

I'm pretty sure Rush thinks Clinton is a communist too; not sure about Obama. Just check out Regis' avatar -- since he's incapable of thinking for himself, I have to assume it's a reflection of Rush's views (and probably obtained via a link on Rush's web site).

I am surpised Gravel hasn't dropped out yet, I expected him to bow out before Kucinich.
