yendiThe amazing thing about that huge gap in Cynthia McKinney's loss last night?
Because of the way in which GA elections work (allowing anyone to vote in either primary, but then only allowing folks to vote in the runoff for the same party they voted for in a primary), and because a huge number of liberals who can't stand her (like me) voted in the Republican primary with the express intent of keeping that son of a bitch Ralph Reed off the November ballot, I suspect that the gap might be smaller than it would have been otherwise.
Personally, I feel no small amount of schadenfreude over her loss (maybe she could co-write a movie with Mel Gibson about being screwed over by "the Jews?"), but I still hold Denise Majette responsible for the fact that this election was even necessary. Won't stop me from voting for her for School Superintendent, of course (anyone but Kathy "evolution is a negative buzzword" Cox, please), but she should never have abandoned her House position after one term.

And I, too, am still angry at Denise Majette.

cement head"Sonny" - damned, the choices just suck.(no subject)
