Lonely, Kucinich?

Over the last week, Kucinich seems to have hit a rather large snag on his campaign trail. As his poll numbers have fallen, Democratic nominee Dennis Kucinich has found himself dead last in the Iowa polls, sadly leaving him to be excluded from one of the most watched Democratic debates. Due to the fact that his poll numbers have been so low, as well as the technicality that his campaign did not rent office space in Iowa, the Des Moines Register (who is sponsoring the debate) has decided to exclude Kucinich completely.
Since the conclusion of this debate, Kucinich's Campaign has had a minor lash back at the Des Moines Register for their assertions that Kucinich was not a credible candidate in the state of Iowa, and for removing him from the debate based on the aforementioned technicality that his campaign head in Iowa was not working out of rented office space, but was working out of his home, instead.
According to CBS news, this action has left Kucinich pretty well out in the cold, his campaign describing the exclusion as "arbitrary and unreasonable."
While it may be true that Kucinich is a long shot to win the presidential nomination, it is clear that his exclusion from this important democratic debate has hurt his ability to show in the primary process as well.
