Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has dropped out of the race. Lackluster poll numbers combined with a recent legal confrontation with MSNBC which fought hard to keep Kucinich out of the recent Democratic Debate. The New York Times reports on that conflict, where MSNBC wanted to exclude Kucinich after earlier invites and Kucinich arguing that this was a breach of contract. Initially the ruling was in Kucinich's favor, but appeared at last minute to be overtuned by legal appeal.
This leaves the democratics with three candidates: Clinton, Edwards, and Obama. Although Clinton still leads nationally Obama is now poised to win Saturday's South Carolina debate which may edge him even closer to polling parity with Clinton as we move into what may prove to be the definitive day in the election: February 5.

Michigan results shortly. Kucinich may debate after all.
The Michigan primary results will be in shortly. For the Dems this is almost a non-event due to national party penalties which are not going to count Michigan votes. Only Clinton is on the ballot, she will "win" handily, but get no delegates for the nomination.
The Republican Michigan vote is far more significant. Romney arguably must win the state of Michigan - where he and his wife grew up - to demonstrate his national viability. Polls show Romney and McCain in a close race.
Tonights Democratic Debate in Las Vegas was originally to feature Dennis Kucinich but poor showings were to leave him out. However a judge ruled today that Kucinich must either speak or the judge may order an injunction to stop the debate altogether. Look for Kucinich to be included at the last minute.

Democratic Debate
The Democratic debate in New Hampshire is featuring:
Hilary Clinton, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, and Chris Dodd, and Mike Gravel.
Over at USA Today they are live blogging the debate
The questions so far seem to focus on the basic American concerns of Iraq, Gas Prices, leadership, etc.
Unless I'm mistaken Hilary has been
CNN John King's highlight: Iraq disputes between Obama, Edwards, Clinton, Biden. Iraq as "the driving debate" in the left wing of the party. Larry King: "A lively 65 minutes" John Edwards with a strong presentation. Candy Crowley: Edwards is trying to "draw blood from the top candidates" Obama and Clinton. Hilary, in turn, trying to 'stay above the fray' as the front runner.
