Former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has hinted that she might seek the Green Party presidential nomination. But she has also said that she cannot focus on that until she eliminates her 2006 congressional campaign debt. That debt, which was originally $45,000, is now down to $16,400, according to her website. She is trying to eliminate the remaining debt with a speaking tour in northeast states.

Well, I found this page on MySpace abt a month ago, it’s a Draft McKinney page
Cynthia McKinney for President 2008
See these speeches about 2008
Cynthia McKinney talks about her potential 2008 run as a Green
Cyntha McKinney talks about American Blackout and the Green Party
McKinney has a fair amount of support within politically active progressive communities that aren’t dominated by middle aged white men, i.e. just the communities to which the Green Party (and all leftist 3rd parties) has been trying to appeal.
However, minorities in the USA seem to be surgically attached to the Democratic Party, even when it’s obviously against their own self-interest (e.g. the District of Columbia).
There’s no getting around the fact that, should she run (and I have no doubt that she will), the media will focus exclusively on her unfortunate run-in at the Capitol (a combination of a lifetime of racism & a really bad day) and her alleged remarks about 9/11. Some of the people who have lambasted her over the latter (including articulate statesmen such as Zell Miller and Neil Boortz) form a pretty zany crew themselves. Her courageous voting record and history of speaking out, below the radar, on behalf of the very worst-off among us will go unnoticed and ignored, I’m sure.
Probably so! You have to admit that she is her own worst enemy! If she had hired herself as a public relations expert she would probably fire her self by now. Same with Chula Vista’s former History Professor Bob Filner.
Filner was shaking hands with Citizens For A Better Veterans Home members in 2003. When some one mentioned soon to be recalled Governor Gray Davis, he spun right around and left our group. Kindergarters know better than that!
