Cynthia McKinney to announce bid next week for the White House: Green Party

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.

Wow, this may set up a primary battle between McKinney and Ralph Nader for the nomination.

The Green Party can have her. she’ll split the DemocRAT vote.

Yeah, she might grab as many as 2 or 3 thousand.

Nader got almost 3 million votes in 2000 and the Green candidate got fewer than 120,000 in 2004. If McKinney gets more than 50,000 I'll be amazed.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Mel Brooks and Buck Henry are writing the script for this election?
