Will Kucinich demand a recount?
Hillary won the Michigan Democratic primary. Sort of.
Though I think she lost a lot more than she gained:
…roughly 70 percent of Michigan’s African-American voters — a group that makes up a quarter of Michigan’s Democratic electorate — did not cast their votes for Clinton, choosing the “uncommitted†option instead. Yet these voters weren’t uncommitted at all: in fact, according to CNN exit polls, they overwhelmingly favored Barack Obama, whose name did not appear on the ballot.
If you voted Democrat, you had three options: Hillary, Dennis Kucinich, or “Uncommitted” — which might as well have really read: None of the Above.
And 40% of all Michigan Democratic voters chose “none of the above”. Kucinich did manage 4% of the Democratic votes. If “Garli-stuffed Olives” was on the ballot, it would have garnered more votes than Kucinich did.
I don’t know how much clearer a message this man needs that he is an unelectable nutcase than that.

Come on, let’s be honest: It may as well have read: “Barack Obama or John Edwards”.
Somebody get Kucinich a medium rare boneless rib-eye…stat!
Ha! Yet at least Kucinich (hopefully) didn’t consider himself the frontrunner. Nonetheless he nearly outperformed Mayor Giuliani:
Kucinich 21,708 Giuliani 24,706
Sounds like he needs some Rudymentum…
So he did.
Still, just think how he would do if he got a little taste of blood, instead of tofu.
Well at least Hillary doesn’t have anything to cry about this time, since she didn’t really have anyone to lose to.
