DEL.ICIO.USMcKinney recovers, wins the Green vote in D.C.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Looks like former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has recovered from her thumping in California.
On Feb. 5, McKinney lost to Ralph Nader in the Green Party presidential primary in that state, 41 to 26 percent.
But on Tuesday, McKinney won the Statehood Green Presidential Preference race in the District of Columbia.
She won 202 of the 487 votes cast, or 41 percent. Nader wasn’t on the ballot.
To be frank, we don’t know how this impacts her Green Party fortunes.
In the D.C. Democratic primary, Barack Obama did pretty well himself, with 85,534 votes, or 75 percent.

Given the demographics, educational levels, public assistance levels, etc., eithin D.C., this isn’t exactly a shock. I mean, these are the people who still worship at the feet of Marion Barry. What did you expect?

I have a question for the ajc. What purpose do articles and blogs serve for people like Cynthia? She is an embarrassment for the state of Georgia and blogs like this just fuel the fire. She’s a moron and a racist. We all know that. To continue to publish articles about her just p** people off.
