Cynthia McKinney, a former Democratic Congresswoman from Georgia, was in California last weekend to test the waters for a potential bid for the Green Party’s 2008 Presidential Nomination. Last month, she left the Democratic Party in the wake of its failure to end the War in Iraq and the many and sundry defeats it has sustained since taking back power on Capitol Hill this past January. McKinney, defeated for re-election last fall by a Black Democratic moderate who Blogger Skeptical Brotha labels a handkerchief head uncle tom, has been courted steadily since then to take up the Green banner and continue her progressive fight against the imperialistic Bush war machine.
