Kucinich is irrelevant. He's proven himself to be.
Obama pulled that stunt (a Brooks' Brothers-type rally in Kucinich's state) after all of the progressives who had pledged to not vote for a bill without a public option had caved -- Obama didn't need Kucinich EXCEPT to break the back of the call for a public option, to break the momentum of the left's call for it. What Kucinich did was even more treacherous, carried even more betrayal than the other progressives who had caved.
What Kucinich did was equivalent to "Et tu, Brute?"

The DLC-controlled Democratic Party machine is redistricting Kucinich out of a seat.
