Kucinich to Run for President
Say hello to one more Democratic contender for President in 2004: Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio has decided to throw his hat in the ring. The total number of declared candidates is now at 8.
Kucinich is known for his support for civil liberties and peace. He serves as Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, consisting of 55 of the most liberal members of Congress.
Others who have declared themselves are: former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, Missouri Rep. Richard Gephardt, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman, former Illinois Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun and the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Gary Hart is considering a run, but has not made a decision.
