Democrat Rep. Dennis Kucinich, the eight-term congressman from Ohio and two-time presidential candidate, suffered a humiliating defeat in his primary race tonight. Super Tuesday was super-sad for progressives, who took to Twitter to redistribute the grief — while the rest of the Twitterverse chortled over the out-of-this-world pol’s loss and sore loser-dom:
A US Congress without Dennis Kucinich is a Congress without hope. There goes my voice. FUCK THIS!

Goodbye Denis Kucinich, your presence will be missed. You can finally return to Valinor.

Kucinich's loss is the quintessential story of how hubris can cloud your judgement. No campaign at all. @msnbc @edschultz @rachelmaddow

I though Kucinich was going to move to Wash State and run there? Over under on the Dennis & Grayson Show on MSNBC?

Kucinich concedes to Marcy Kaptur, but sounding very bitter, saying her campaign lacked "integrity."

#WarOnWomen RT @ChadPergram: Kucinich says Kaptur ran campagin "that was utterly lacking in integrity" and he fails to congratulate her.

Kucinich was the left's Ron Paul, but without the sense of humor.
