According to a reliable source, former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga) will officially announce her candidacy for U.S. president as early as next week. According to the source, the Green Party has been actively courting McKinney to switch party affiliation and run as a Green. (*)

McKinney has been outspoken about the Iraq war, AIPAC's lobbying influence over U.S. foreign policy, the 9/11 Commission Report, and the partisan decision by a partial body of the Supreme Court to elect George W. Bush to the presidency in 2000.

She is also trumpeting the call of millions of Americans calling for the impeachment of Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for perpetrating war crimes against humanity.

McKinney is in San Francisco this weekend. Her schedule includes an appearance at a CodePink party tonight at El Rio, and an appearance tomorrow at a campaign rally to elect mayoral candidate Ahimsa Sumchai.

(*) Update 3:10 p.m: According to a source, McKinney officially registered as a member of the Green Party yesterday.

Is this a joke?

[I still care]

So is she going to be in Congress as a Green? Are we going to start seeing G after her name?

[manic4organic]

She is, but I don’t think this is.

I think she'd make a great green party candidate.

[Sir Hailstone]

She is really prepping for the role!

[Abathar]

This might even be worth jumping over to the DUmp to see how they take it!

[trisham]

I hope she does. :)

Big Woof!

[Brad from Tennessee]

This crackpot will do anything to stay in front of the cameras. If she runs she will siphon votes from the Democrat candidate and she is a media magnet.

[Safetgiver]

Oh, Gees, Not this shiite again.

[Post-Neolithic]

This would be a bane for the Liberal Democrats. All the left wingers/Anti-semitic/Anti-war and Muslim voters would go her way. Might be an attempt by her to extort the Libs into giving her power, money?

[Redcloak]

You go, girl!

[Soft Bigotry]

McKinney isn’t a threat to take votes away from the Dems, but Nader would be. Does anyone know if he plans to run as an independent?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Oh Cyn^thia! I hope you pick Dan Ra^ther as your running mate!
