Cause the Presidential race needs a black woman who ain't afraid of Dubya or Capitol security.

You know, I've actually listened to her acceptance speech - all 33 (plus) minutes of it. She's one powerful, inspired woman, I'll give her that.
I gave up on listening to Rosa Clemente pretty soon. All this talk of hip-hop...I didn't get the point (if there was one). Still - I prefer hip-hop over a flip-flop anytime... ::)
Will the Green Party get their 5 percent? It would be nice for a change, but I doubt it.

she'd be a tempting vote. if obama veers a lot further toward the "center" i'll be thinking about a vote for her.

Cynthia does have great conviction. I admire her for that. I remember her wanting to impeach the whole Bush administration. That took guts, she paid for her decision dearly.
Don't too much care for Rosa. I don't think she's VP material.
One things for sure. With McKinney throwing her hat in the ring, it's going to get real interesting.

She's not afraid to speak her mind. Politically incorrect, but refreshing.

Agreed. I'm not sure who wrote her speech (herself, by the sound of it), but she's got a lot to learn. It didn't sound real to me. Maybe if she'd rapped it or something...

Definitely. I think she's more experienced than Obama, which could give her a slight advantage over him. On the other hand: the Greens are but a small party.

Dude, you can't do that! Obama's going to have no choice but to go centrist, but no McCain voter is going to change his mind and vote for Cynthia McKinney. Then we might have President McCain!

I do like Cynthia McKinney and should be in the running for a cabinet post rather than the Greens guileless campaign!

I'd vote for anyone who looses a Congressional seat for doing something people think should be done, but don't have the guts to say it. (She wanted all of Bush's cabinet impeached)

Apparently, she is close to representing my viewpoint (although not nearly as close as Mike Gravel is). I wouldn't vote for her though. She was a major drama queen back when she was in the House.

OK, so she did have a tendency to yell a lot and cry racism when Capitol security asked to see her ID badge. Somehow I'd rather have a drama queen around then a whinny idiot who relies on the brain of one other person.

I'll take Obama over McKinney any day. I'd take McKinney over McCain and Bob Barr though. Barr is actually more of a Republican than McCain is, which is why I won't be voting Libertarian.

I'm still mourning over the fact that Bill Richardson is out of the picture. Somehow I can't see Cynthia holding it together at a G-8 summit. Max is right, she'd be best in a cabinet position. Barr was a hard core Conservative Republican. His views haven't changed, only his party registration.

Richardson declined on the running mate offer?

Haven't really heard anything about that. He's been pretty quiet. They were saying it could be Dick Gephart for a while. I do hope he is Obama's running mate.

Same here... I didn't realize you were talking about the nomination. He dropped out pretty early.

And McCain will make gestures toward liberal ideas...
This is only the "sucking-up to the undecideds" phase. Just hold your nose for awhile...

Join the club! I'm one of the current 6% nationally, and one of the 8% in the state of Georgia according to recent opinion polls, who is voting for Bob Barr.

At least some people find both of them charming. Not much charming about Bush-Cheneee.
Don't get you panties all in a bunch sweetie, remember your blood pressure.
