Cynthia McKinney to announce bid next week for the White House: Green Party
Fogcityjournal ^ | October 5, 2007 | Luke Thomas

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.

If this is true, she knows she can’t win, but one thing she also knows.........she can make a lot of money running.

I like the idea of her having Cindy Sheehan for a running mate-—she could draw a lot of moonbats from (ahem) some other candidate.

I am waiting for her and cut and run to run together. They could run on the PAAAP(Paul’s Anti-American Appeasement Party) Ticket.

Looks like RP is going to lose some voters. ;-)

I just figured Cut and Run would be her running mate. The tough question will be "Who will head the ticket?"
