Between Dennis Kucinich seeing UFOs and Mike Gravel’s campaign ads, I thought it couldn’t get any better. But, the race just got that much better:
“The time for confrontation has come for me,†Cynthia McKinney told about 60 supporters on December 4. Launching her quest for the Green Party Presidential nomination, McKinney compared her “revolution†to Haiti, Venezuela, and war-torn Cote d’Ivoire.
“Cynthia,†as she prefers to be called, spoke to a crowd of about 60 gathered at the Paige Library Building on the Campus of Texas Southern University, a primarily African-American college in Houston.
Arriving 10 minutes after the 7 p.m. scheduled start time, McKinney sashayed through the crowd smartly dressed in a colorful pants suit and scarf. Personally greeting each attendee, she handed out pastel flyers emblazoned with the words, “Leading a Peace Slate to Reclaim our Nation.†She looked each potential supporter in the eye, with a big smile, and said, “I really need your support.â€
I think her first order of business will be finding out what really happened to Tupac. I hope she makes a lot of noise. This race was starting to get a little hum-drum. It needed a little Cynthia.
