The left wing fringe has now become the mainstream demohack, this will seal their fate, they're toast... Americans already see that the left is weak on defense and will side with the terrorists, there is no way anyone would want to vote for a left wing nut job for President... I don't care what any poll says, those polls are all rigged by the left wing media in the first place... GZ

The six-term lawmaker grabbed national headlines in March for striking a police officer who attempted to stop her as she skirted a metal detector in a House office building. McKinney, who is black, said race was a factor in the officer's stopping her when most members routinely breeze by security monitors. McKinney also caused a stir in 2002 when she suggested that President Bush may have had prior knowledge of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. That year, she lost the Democratic primary to a more moderate black candidate, Denise L. Majette. State Rep. Billy McKinney spelled out the reason for his daughter's political troubles that election night: "J-E-W-S." When Majette gave up her seat to run for the Senate in 2004, Cynthia McKinney won back the House seat. But the enmity with many Jewish and moderate voters remained. In a three-way primary last month, McKinney finished first with 47 percent of the vote while Johnson, a relative novice, received 44 percent. But Johnson, who is also black, came on strong in the run-up to yesterday's showdown. McKinney attributed his success to Republicans crossing over to vote against her and financing his campaign. Prominent Georgia Republicans, such as failed gubernatorial candidate Guy Millner and Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, have backed Johnson, but so have prominent Democrats, including former governor Roy Barnes. McKinney's campaign yesterday lashed out at "voting irregularities," citing police harassment, poll workers refusing to hand out Democratic ballots, "insecure" voting machines casting wayward votes, and some ballots missing McKinney's name.
