"Yes, I AM running for President of the Newnited States. Why do you ask?"

Former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is on the political comeback trail again. This time, she's running for president.
In a speech posted on her campaign Web site, runcynthiarun.org, McKinney, 52, ended weeks of speculation and officially announced her run as a Green Party candidate. She sounded the theme "Come Home To The Green Party" while attacking both major parties as supporters of the war in Iraq and tools of corporate interests.
"The Democrats, no different than their Republican counterpart, eat out of the hands of corrupt lobbyists and feed at the same corporate trough," McKinney says in the video. "I am proud to say the Green Party is my new political home."
In recent weeks, McKinney has traveled to campaign rallies and fund-raisers in Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin trying to organize party support and get her name on state ballots. She said she plans to campaign in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Maybe there really is a Santa Claus.
There is even a poll on the linked site:
Would you vote for Cynthia McKinney?
Yes ---- 7.68% ---- 87 votes
No ---- 92.32% ---- 1046 votes
Freepers, she needs some help here!
Where do I send my check for a nickel?
I suspect she wants the Democrats to buy her off, to keep her out of the race. But you never know.
My first guess is she’s running at the behest of the clintoons. This way she can syphon off some of the black vote from Obama allowing Hillary to win the nomination.
I guess the green party is on the ballot in many state, but do they have primaries? If not my theory is debunked.
I'd send one for less than my two cents worth but I don't want to waste the postage.
Where do I send my check for a nickel?
Use a credit card....
The fees will cost her 35 cents, and you can cost her $10 bucks per later on when you demand the chargeback!
Between McKinney (Green) and Bloomberg (Ind.) there could very well be a decent number of votes siphoned away from the Democrat nominee. Hopefully Nader will toss his old suit into the ring as well.
Maybe Hellary will choose her as a running mate?
Where’s Oprah when you really need her?
Would someone call out the guys with the butterly net and the long sleeved jacket?
Dat's right. Fo' sho'!
What else can one say, but...
BWAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAh,
"If everyone would just donate a can of corn and a sponge to our campaign, we could run the campaign bus for two weeks! We're Green!"
Your kidding right?
She is running on the Cynthia X goof ticket.
Malcomn where are you?
Yes 7.83% 93
No 92.17% 1095
When I, and many other, realized what it was, and stopped checking off the box, the Dems slipped in a provision bumping it up from a $1 to $3, another sign of fraud.
Paul Shanklin is going to have to get his sister to imitate McKinney on the next version of "Mama Told Me Not to Come", dueting with Sharpton: "As soon as we get are matching funds, we're out the door".
