If you guys up there in Washington State want him, you can have him 
Of course it did. Refusing to answer questions about the possibility of running in Washington a couple days before the primary isn't a great position to be in, especially for a guy whose career was built upon remembering his "forgotton people" on the west side of Cleveland. Kucinich still managed close to 75% in Cuyahoga County but I can't imagine that his flirtation did anything but hurt.
