Does that mean that Jihad Cindy is gonna win her old seat back? The GA 4th district race is won in the Democrat primary; ain't no way a Republican is ever gonna get that seat.

Asked by a reporter if Cynthia McKinney would support Majette's Senate bid, McKinney responded "Hell no. You've got to be crazy."

Georgia's 4th District is so much like the rest of the state.

That is probably what it means. However, one of the things that happened when the Democrats gerrymandered the congressional map a couple of years ago is that they tried to get as many Democratic leaning districts as possible in a Republican state. The only way to do that is to have a lot of barely Democratic districts and as many overwhelming Republican districts as possible. That means none of the districts is as heavily Democratic as they were.

As high as Cynthia's negatives are, I would think that a Republican running a really good campaign might have a shot. The problem is, Cynthia is going to be WAY out in front of any Republican in that district as far as name recognition.
