IT'S NOT LIKE CAMPAIGN '08 IS SHORT ON CRAZY CANDIDATES:

McKinney registers in Calif., where some want to nominate her (AP, October 17, 2007)

Former congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has registered to vote in California, where some want her to run for president as a Green Party candidate. [...]

The fact that McKinney's name remains on the ballot has given supporters hope, said John Morton, a California Green Party delegate.

"She's got us all guessing, but she hasn't removed her name, and that's a good sign. I talked to her last week and she said she's very interested but not ready to make an announcement."


One would like to think that Al Gore, no matter how misguided, is serious when he talks about how central his environmental concerns ought to be to American politics. But if he's willing to stand back and let her speak for the movement, how seriously can we take him?

Unbeatable Green ticket: Gore-McKinney. We'll have so much fun: Clinton-Obama vs Gore-McKinney vs Freddy McCain.
