She's lost her Georgia Congressional seat twice, so that hasn't worked out so well... Hey, I know! What about a Presidential run? Cynthia McKinney has found a place where she can be a big fish in a small pond: the Green Party. Ousted Georgia lawmaker to run for president
In a video posted on the Internet on Tuesday, McKinney criticized the war in Iraq and complained about Democrats and Republicans, saying both parties are beholden to corrupt corporate interests. She called the Green Party "my new political home."
McKinney, 52, registered to vote in California after a group called Run! Cynthia! Run! began drafting her as the Green Party's candidate there. Since then, she had made campaign appearances in Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin...
...McKinney is one of at least seven Green Party candidates for president. The party will select its presidential nominee at its July 10 convention in Chicago.
I think I'll put on my yarmulke and celebrate.
