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.
A day in the life of the McKinney fundraising apperatus.

In all seriousness, if Cynthia is Louisiana’s best, I pity the good folks from Louisiana.
LOL, can’t wait to read the responses!
She should take Sheila Jackson-Lee as her running mate! The Dumb and Dumber ticket!
no, it’s an ego trip.
she gets secret service to protect her
from people that dis her.
Awesome!
btt
Is Cynthia announcing on Saturday Night Live or on BET?
“This would be a heck of a ticket if she could get Heineken burglar from New Orleans to be her VP.”
Oh no, someone credible, like (guffaw) Dennis Kucinich.
“America needs a garbage disposal for dangerous feckless imbeciles like this..
Like cockroaches....they keep reappearing every time the lights go on...”

I agree with you regarding Hillary. Now, insofar as Cynthia, she is a much more interesting candidate.
“Which one will be the VP?”

I think Weasely might accept; he’d be a good complement to this genius.
neither one is a threat to the dems. In 2004 Nader only got about 400,000 votes and he would not be taken seriosly by any dems or at least not cost them any states.
McKinney is just a joke, reminds me of a spoiled child.I think if there is a serious 3rd party challnge it will be on our side, depending on who the nominee is.
Another Perot type conservative could give us the Clintons again!We need to back whoever the party chooses even Rudy, if he is the one.
Yeah! That’s two two two dumbs in one!
Welllllll, my darling ex is a Green...
I don’t know but it made me laugh.
Excellent! Stupid is as stupid does! She should have a great following. Think about it! Let’s just hope they give her a great deal of air time.
My thoughts exactly...and a free platform to talk about her favorite subject, W. That is, unless the CCS (Clinton Crime Syndicate, name courtesy of Mark Levin) spikes any of her tv appearances.
What a total joke and embarrassment. She should just go away quietly already.
>>Welllllll, my darling ex is a Green...<<
I hope I did not insult your ex....
