Kucinich ends long-shot presidential bid with Kerry endorsement
MALIA RULON Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio ended his long-shot presidential bid Thursday with an endorsement of John Kerry, after running an underfunded campaign of anti-war rallies that failed to become competitive.
The Cleveland Democrat, who refused to drop out of the race even after better-known candidates gave up, stressed the need for the party to unite behind Kerry and vice presidential nominee John Edwards.
"With the same passion and commitment I demonstrated in my own campaign for president, I intend to reach out on behalf of the Kerry-Edwards ticket to unite our party with all those who may have felt left out," Kucinich said at a Kerry campaign event in Detroit.
Kucinich, who became a darling among the Democratic Party's most liberal members, also appealed for support from backers of independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader, who some worry could draw votes from Kerry.
