Ping for defeating Daschle in November! Run Cynthia run!

[FreedomPoster]

Now that I have my ping list - read the main, and perhaps my #17 above. ;-)

I sent this and other "Cindy" related links out this morning, and will do so as long as she won't stay quiet.

I hoped she'd fade away gracefully, but if not, I'll keep pounding on the subject. Let people get a bellyfull of these bigots.

Run ForrestCynthia, Run.

As Bill Shatner said in Airplane II, "Irony can be pretty ironic."

[Plutarch]

Don't you have to be able to write to write-in?

[RobFromGa]

I would probably donate money for this as well. I'd use my real name though, which is:
Robik Muhammed el Georgiastan (aka RobFromGa)

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

The media is saying that Cindy is out of the country.... I SURE would love to know where she went, wouldn't you?

[FreedomPoster]

Wouldn't that be Rob the Prophet from Georgia? ;-)

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

LOL Rob..... you are cracking me up!

I said it yesterday and I'll say it again... seriously we should do an email Freep encouraging McKinney to run a write-in (use untraceable email addresses, AOL and hotmail and all that)

[Guillermo]

Since when is Cleland's persoanl history "heroic"???????

[Guillermo]

Haha, good point!

[hattend]

Well, she said she will not help Republicans but if she has a write-in campaign and helps Republicans by doing that, isn't that ironic/irony?

[dead]

No, it's not ironic.

It's lying.

[.45MAN]

I hope she does run.. SHe would help just the people that she is against.......

"Cynthia, from one Democrat to another: sit down and shut up."

Fascinating, indeed! I had to sit back for a moment and take it in (and pick my jaw up off the floor!). And here all along I thought she was the "darling" of the Dims.

It makes sense in a strange, convoluted way. It's just going to take me a while to shift gears from "Bye Bye Kabul Cindy" to "Run, Cindy, Run."

Wow....

[dansangel]

"Robik Muhammed el Georgiastan (aka RobFromGa)"

LOL...I almost inhaled my morning coffee!!

[SauronOfMordor]

Cynthia won't run. She knows what would happen to her if she cost the Dims control of the Senate.

[MacDorcha]

she doesnt know any better though, shes a foolhardy idiot. ever notice that there are NO pictures of her with her mouth closed? i wish she would run... itd be like Quail/Bush, only the excrement would be on their side of the fence for once.

Cleland, on the other hand, thought he needed all those McKinney voters come November to help him out. What if some of those McKinney voters -- 20 percent, maybe -- show up to vote for her?

Then those votes come directly out of Cleland's hide, that's what. In a close race -- and putting Cleland's popularity and heroic personal history aside, most everyone expects a close race -- those votes will count.

I think Georgia has a law requiring a US Senate candidate get at least 50% +1 vote in the general election to be elected outright to the Senate seat. If there is no candidate with a majority in the general election in November, there is a run off a month or so later. Paul Coverdale beat incumbent Senator Wyche Fowler in the run off in 1992 after coming in second in the general election. That law really made the DemcRATS mad. Ralf Nader and Common Cause challenged its constitutionality but lost their case.
