That is what Mari Evans claims on the blog Celebescene. Mari points out that Kucinich, who has been infuriated over the prospect of losing national airtime during Democratic debates, has refused to debate congressional opponents. This lead to opponent Barbara Anne Ferris taking extreme measures and interrupting (read crash) a public summit hosted by Kucinich after he refused to debate her.

Ben Smith also pointed this out not long ago in The Politico and had a quote from Kucinich who claimed his limiting of democratic debate was different because of “personalities”. What that means, I have no idea.
