Well, if you look at democrats who would be committee chairs in a democrat controlled congress, the picture is horrifying. Part of the problem with gerrymandering that guarantees incumbents is that those incumbents don't have to appeal to a wider range of voters. As a result, you get wackos like McKinney and Maxine Waters, Lewis, and the like, and they build up the seniority to be committee chairs. Too bad the Supreme Court gutted the term limits movement 5-4, thus protecting what Mark Twain once called "America's only native criminal class," congressmen.

THIS is why Democrats are frantic to get McKinney out. It has nothing at all to do with her votes on Israel.

Notice how Jewish Democarts are not supporting McKinney's GOP opponent. They want a liberal in there. But they want one who is not going to say things such as this:

"Why should Antwerp and Tel Aviv be built on the limbs and backs of Freetown, Luanda and Kinshasa?"--Cynthia McKinney
