Did Dennis Kucinich die?

Because this AP article reads like an obituary. Kucinich has quit the race for president. I kind of feel bad for the guy, because he really put his money where his mouth is. Kucinich was always a long-shot, but you could tell he really believed in what he said. He was never given a fair shake by the media. If you ever watched him during a debate, standing off on the far end of the podium, he'd patiently wait for a question to come his way, then pounce on it and sound intelligent. That is, unless a moderator confronted him about aliens. Low blow, Tim Russert.
