Big irony: If she runs for the Senate, she will probably win a lot of crossover votes from Republicans.

Republicans wouldn't cross over to vote for her given she runs for the senate. Crossing over would actually hurt Republicans, as it would help elect a more viable Democrat (if you can believe that) to run in the general election. Allow McKinney to win the Democrat nomination (though I don't think that she'd win that, either). If she were to run in the general election for senate, she'd loose big time.
