4. Great news.

See, I told you there was ONE other issue we agreed on.

;)

[Cha]

5. This is so good!

Get over this hurdle so she can go to the next.

[stanwyck]

24. Cynthia turns out the Dem. voters

so this is good news for Kerry and Majette. She has a committed following. All Dems benefit when Cynthia is on the ballot.

[onehandle]

6. She's at 50.9 according to the SOS site.

No run-off if she holds.

11. with 87% reported so far

cross your fingers! :headbang:

[bluestateguy]

9. Is Majette retiring?

I haven't followed anything in Georgia ever since that awful night in November 2002.

[TSIAS]

10. She's running for the Dem Senate nomination

Looks like she's headed to winning w/o a runoff.

[CatWoman]

12. she's running for Zell's vacant seat

and she's ahead, too.

[0rganism]

18. Wait -- how come her race is listed as US Rep district 4?

Zell's seat is in the senate. This makes no sense to my sluggish brain.

27. Ah, I get it. Thanks for the assist

How's Majette been as a rep, anyway? Despite the odd circumstances of her ascent, I never got a truly negative vibe from her.

[Pastiche423]

22. Majette is running for Zell's seat

Not Cynthia.

What's this about a runoff?

Damn, I'm excited!

[Moloch]

52. Damn

that's too bad... I was reading the other message and getting so excited about how the final nail in ol zell's political coffin was being replaced by a real democrat!

[Liberal_Dog]

14. So, The Repukes Aren't Crossing Over This Time

Or, if they are, it doesn't look like it will matter.

[JackRiddler]

15. Now maybe I can finally update my McKinney page...

which documented her courage in challenging the official 9/11 story and the RW campaign against her, through July 2002. I was too depressed after her loss to continue this archive...

The thanks of a grateful nation must include universal health care, full funding for a quality education for all our children, especially the children of our reservations, barrios, and ghettos.

The thanks of a grateful nation must include tackling issues like poverty; unemployment, urban sprawl, transportation; protecting Mother Earth; civil rights, the glass ceiling, affirmative action, race relations; drug abuse, the death penalty, prison reform; the way we treat our veterans. Social justice, US standing in the world.

Protecting civil liberties. Ending war and promoting peace. That's the thanks of a grateful nation.

The thanks of a grateful nation includes remembering who we are.

We are America and we have unbounded good to offer the world. The good that we saw deep in America's heartland in the midst of tragedy on one particular day in September two years ago.

We are the America that declared its independence from tyranny and instituted the rule of law and our Bill of Rights for all our citizens.

We are the America that sent its greatest generation to fight on foreign soil so that others could be free.

But we are in danger of being that America no more.

Everything we hold dear to us, as the unique American character, the values that we struggled so hard for and won in the civil rights movements of blacks, women and gays, are all being threatened today by a small but powerful group who want to silence you, yet speak and act for you.

We are America and we are family. And yes, we can make gentle the life of this world. - the Hon. Cynthia McKinney, September 12, 2003

21. She got our votes

I'm a happy camper tonight.

29. What this may mean in November.

Every single Republican in my district and every conservative Democrat will go to the poll and vote against her.

Between now and then, the GOP will use her return as a rallying cry across America.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Now I'm wondering if the Diebold machine I used this evening arranged this.

[TeacherCreature]

38. and when they complain

Everyone is going to think "yeah, what DID bush know and WHEN did he know it?"

This is a good thing.

[onehandle]

32. Called for McKinney at 11:30. She will be on the ballot in Nov. nt

40. He is probably happy with the DLC sanctioned platform

His hatred of McKinney and of Michael Moore was legendary.

What would he do today when Moore is the toast of all Democrats and progressives and McKinney gets another shot at her seat.

Remember his "Onward Christian Soldier" post?

I wonder if he enlisted in the military. He supported the war...

[Forkboy]

42. I remember him always capitilizing "Patriotic Soldiers"

He was a fun cat toy :)

49. From McKinney For Congress National Support Group...

At 12:30 AM past the initial projections, the Atlanta Journal
Constitution cites Cynthia having gotten 52 percent of the vote with 182 out of 184 precincts (99 percent) reporting!

Given the make up of the 4th district, this all but guarantees her a
seat in the House when the 109th Congress begins.

Send Cynthia McKinney back to Washington to light a fire under the
butts of corrupt Re-THUG-liKKKans everywhere!

[G_j]

53. KICK!

[gratuitous]

51. She's baaa-a-a-a-ack

Republicans' worst nightmare. Deal with it, because not even Diebold can help you now, bully boys.
