DEL.ICIO.USMcKinney said to be bowing out of ‘08 presidential run
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Blogger Jason Pye pointed us to what could be a decision by former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney to skip the ‘08 presidential race. She had been flirting with the Green Party.
On Ron Gunzburger’s Politics, McKinney is said to have written a Monday letter to the Greens with these lines:
“After careful consideration about the political conditions facing our nation, the level of development within the [Green] Party, my own readiness to take on such a daunting task and my own long postponed personal priorities, I write to inform the Party that I must at this time withdraw my name from consideration for the Party’s 2008 Presidential Nominating contest.”
The Gunzburger blog notes that this would leave McKinney free to challenge Hank Johnson for her old seat. But we’ve no independent information that this is the case.
