"I'm exiting the race to hang more with my smokin' hot wife. Oh and that whole re-election thing, too."

The political world just got a bundle less fun to snark about. Dennis Kucinich dropped out of the Presidential race. He's instead facing a tough re-election race for his House seat back in Ohio. I met him in New Hampshire in '04, wandering around a mixer at Dartmouth essentially looking for anyone to chat up. He was charming. Adorable. Funny. Small. I believe he is entirely driven by the right impulses and means what he says. He deserves to be re-elected from his home district. He thereby gets my Gold Medal endorsement. Vote for him, Cleveland.

Hope your own representation is also solid gold today. Rock on.
