Hillary is a great unifier in that one respect--she'll motivate Repubs to get to the polls in order to vote against her.

Laugh of the day>Cynthia McKinney to announce Green Party run for President? Posted by Tom Blumer October 08, 2007 Categories: Presidential Elections Oh please, let this be true: Cynthia McKinney to announce bid for the White House According to a reliable source, former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga) will officially announce her candidacy for U.S. president as early as next week. According to the source, the Green Party has been actively courting McKinney to switch party affiliation and run as a Green. () McKinney has been outspoken about the Iraq war, AIPAC's lobbying influence over U.S. foreign policy, the 9/11 Commission Report, and the partisan decision by a partial body of the Supreme Court to elect George W. Bush to the presidency in 2000. She is also trumpeting the call of millions of Americans calling for the impeachment of Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for perpetrating war crimes against humanity. McKinney is in San Francisco this weekend. Her schedule includes an appearance at a CodePink party tonight at El Rio, and an appearance tomorrow at a campaign rally to elect mayoral candidate Ahimsa Sumchai. () Update 3:10 p.m: According to a source, McKinney officially registered as a member of the Green Party yesterday. This third-party candidacy could be much more entertaining than Ralph Nader's previous two forays were. If McKinney goes through with a presidential bid, it will be interesting to see if she has enough appeal on the far left (which, by the way, is farrrrr more upset with "its" representatives in Washington than the right is with "theirs") to do to the 2008 Democratic nominee what Nader did to Al Gore in 2000. Gore would have won Florida if Nader voters in the Sunshine State had voted for him instead. I suggest Cindy Sheehan for Veep.<
