Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who has been struggling to break out of the 1-to-2 percent support range nationally in his bid for the Democratic nomination for president, has sent supporters an “audio postcard” telling them the race is far from over.

Referring to the strong fight between the top contenders for the nomination, Kucinich said none of his opponents has a chance to lock up the nomination during the primary season:

Not one of the candidates in this race has the ability to gain 50 percent of the delegates before we go to the convention, which means the nomination is going to be decided in Boston.

Under traditional party rules, the presidential nominee must win more than 50 percent of the delegates on the first ballot at the national convention. If additional ballots are needed, delegates, traditionally, would be “free” to vote for any candidate.

In the American Research Group's latest poll in New Hampshire, Kucinich registers support from about 1 percent of those who are likley to vote in the primary.
