This woman is an evil racist. But I agree with her on this one point.
A primary is for members of a particular political party to choose the person they belive best represents that party. Crossover voting, or voting by unaffiliated voters, should NOT be allowed.
You lost, get over it.
She is SUCH a bufoon! Crossover voters were not an issue this time around. Her own "basse" had dwindled because she continues to make such a fool of herself.
You never know, people in GA might find that they cannot live without Cynthia and recall her to "service" in the 2008 elections.
Notice that lefties won't accept the results of democratic elections? (Gore, Obrador, this wacko).
Maybe it's because they are impatient to impose stalinism on us whether we like it or not.
I lost what?
Legal genius! ??????
Georgia isn't the only state that allows crossover voting. Will she find people to sue the others?
LOL...
Oh I don't know....use an open primary system where the candidates are forbidden to enter as Dem's or repubs...then
pit the top two cadidates against each other in the general elections....then it wouldn't be so "disgusting" for potential cross over voters to vote their consciences. The Candidates each personally could be Dem's or Repub's...they just couldn't enter the elections listed that way!
Here's a furture for you: Get a job. Any job - outside of government. And go away.
Let me see if I've got this right...
You're only allowed to vote FOR somebody in that district... You shouldn't be allowed to vote AGAINST somebody in that district...
Actually, the "surprised large mouth bass with a bad hair-doo" needs to realize that any republicans that might have crossed over and voted in the dem primary actually supported her, if for no other reason than her entertainment value!

No kidding! Who is it that threatens ABC with the revocation of their FCC license? Who is it that supports the so called "fairness doctorine," which actually does what Tim Robbins claimed conservatives do, "chilling" discourse.
Dems truely are becoming more and more like those that some supported during WWII (before Hitler's NAZI Germany attacked Stalin's USSR). Heck, Roosevelt had to dump Wallace, due to his far left support of the Communists, and his resistance to the war. More and more, we're seeing the dems evolving into fascists: Supporters of a totalitarian government, with complete governmental control of every aspect of your life, from the "entertainment" you see, to the news, to your health care, to what food you get to eat.
On the Jerry Agar show yesterday, he mentioned that a city in Kansas (Overland Park, I believe) has a rule that allows city inspectors to go into rental properties to conduct inspections, and one man was told (by a city inspector) that he needed to clean out his refrigerator, and clean his oven! That's the sort of rule we can expect eventually from dems.

It's obviously not even true. I'm sure a bunch of R's did cross over and vote against her, but A. It's not illegal, B. Some probably crossed over to vote FOR her because they think she makes the D's look bad, C. There isn't enough of them to make up the margin of her loss. She just didn't lose, she got utterly crushed.
That said, I am in full support of the following:
Cynthia for President 2008 (Green Party)!!!!!!!
No, no, no! We want Cynthia for President on the Green Party ticket in 2008! She'll probably get 4% of the vote from the moonbat section of the D's.
Crossover voting isn't really much of an issue in a runoff, because when you vote in the original primary election, you must take either a Republican or Democratic ballot, and once you vote, you cannot cross over and vote the other ballot in the runoff.
There were a couple of hot races on the Republican side - the Lt. Gov. race was particularly controversial, plus the Secy of State, Ag. Commissioner, and several other statewide races. I don't know if any State Senate or House races in the U.S. 4th district were contested, but there are usually a few. So Republicans were busy in the primary, and having voted there could not change ballots in the runoff.
The really telling point is that the vote totals between the primary and the runoff were only a few thousand apart - 62,000 versus 70,000. So even if you assume all 8,000 new voters were Republicans (that assumes that there are 8,000 Republicans of voting age hiding out somewhere in the 4th District, which is doubtful - it's a gerrymandered Dem district and they even took out Dunwoody and points north this time) they couldn't have affected the outcome.
I think it's far more likely that a good number of Democrats in the 4th District were disgusted with having NO representation in Congress. McKinney spends so much time on her antics that she has no time at all for the people in her district. Her aides don't even return phone calls. Probably some people thought she would get blasted in the primary, and when she didn't get knocked out they got up off their duffs and went out to vote against her.
Plus, of course, a local talk radio host started a campaign for Republicans to vote FOR McKinney, so who knows how many crossover votes were actually hers?
