Dennis Kucinich.
Has anyone else noticed that Dennis Kucinich has risen up from the bottom of the Democratic presidential heap, at least in the latest caucus states? Kucinich got 8 percent of the vote in Washington, 5 percent in Michigan, and 15 percent in Maine's caucuses. In Washington and Maine, Kucinich actually got more votes than Edwards or Clark.
In Admittedly, there's a difference in who shows up for a caucus and who shows up to vote in a primary. But given Kucinich's usual 1 or 2 percent in earlier primaries, we're wondering if these figures mean anything.
Anyone want to take a guess?
