Cynthia McKinney (D) is headed back to Congress after the controversial five-term ex-lawmaker won a plurality in Georgia's 4th district primary Tuesday, avoiding what had been widely considered an all but inevitable runoff.
It is curiously interesting that she got just barely by a nose the number (50.7%) needed to avoid a run-off.
That makes two of us.
:-(
Perhaps.
This entire conversation would be immaterial if the nitwits on the Supreme Court-and the venal characters that seem to thrive in the halls of our U.S. Congress, people who are only interested in their next reelection race-hadn't tampered with the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
The racial/political gerrymandering that determines the lines of our congressional districts is simply outrageous.
It's good to have the commie b*tch in Congress, as a living example of the Left's malicious ignorance.
That was Maxine Waters, I believe.
cripes.
cain doesn't make it, but mckinney does.
god, help us sinners now in the hour of our shame
The Islamo-fascists win one...
I'm sure CAIR popped some corks last night.
Best we can do now is make her one more poster child for the whacked-out RAT Party.
The face of the Democrat Party is certainly an ugly one.

Think about it this way:
McKinney is SO far out there, she'll be useful as a tool for embarrassing the Dims.
She apparently learned at her daddy's knee to ALWAYS speak before thinking.
She'll say stuff you couldn't dream up in a thousand years...
Ok, I'm confused. Is Georgia on a different calendar than the rest of the country? I thought that the federal elections weren't until November . . . . or did I oversleep?
You work with girlie men?
Let me tell you - this is why we have to get out the vote.
1) Cynthia McKinney back to Congress
2) Johnny Isakson over Herman Cain without a runoff.
Part of this is because of low voter turnout. If we don't energize our base then don't be surprised to see President Elect Kerry on November 3.
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!
>Part of this is because of low voter turnout.<
Not true the voter turnout was above average.Isakson benefitted the higher the turnout went.If their had not been a hot Senate race Republicans in Dekalb and Gwinnett would have crossed over.It did not make a difference last time but it would have mattered this time.
This is fine. She puts a face on liberalism.
