What an idiot.
Her district is what, half-white? So in order to fire up *part* (and I do mean part) of her black base, she's going to alienate whatever white support she might have. She just signaled to every white liberal in her district that she would rather have the support of racist vermin like Farrakhan than your typical white suburban soccer mom liberal.
This move will lose her more votes than it will gain and may well seal her defeat. All together now, "awwwwww".

McKinney has had a visit from the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Banks said she is getting radio ads from former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young, basketball great Magic Johnson and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader. Let us remember that all these people are apparently willing to get into bed with Farrakhan.

This move undoubtedly gained Majette some more money from Jewish donors. From others as well, I'm sure.

Talk about deaf, dumb, and blind. Bringing in Calypso Louie into the district is like bringing in David Duke in a majority-white district to campaign for a Conservative. That will be an overwhelming indication that McKinney is an anti-semite and militantly pro-Arab (well, no revelation there). Hell, she might as well bring in Duke, too. They can all have a love-in.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any weirder...

I'm tending to agree with you...
This can only hurt McKinney in the northern part of the county.
I sincerely hope that the middle class blacks who live in the 4th will be turned off by this.

This should just about kill McKinney's chances.
What a dumb move. It's over.
To: tet68
I don't know if McKinney is his type...I don't think he goes for pigtails.
To: Pat Bateman
DeKalb County Is this the same County where the defeated Sheriff had the elected Sheriff killed. If so Mckinney really dose fit right into this puzzle.

The union support will be interesting. Majette is a sell out to the DLC bosses, McKinney is with the true believers. This primary works in so many ways and when it is over, it won't be over.

.I don't think he goes for pigtails.I don't know, he likes those porcine beauties, just look at Hillery! and Monica. He is our first Black impeached Xpresident.

McKinney is a Muslim, I don't think she's into pork...
As I can see the downside to Farrakhan visiting, a visit by Clinton FOR McKinney would probably cinch the election for her. Blacks love Clinton for some reason...
To: Shermy
I actually started choking on my nectarine when I read this. First Sharpton campaigns for Earl Hilliard, and now Farrakhan is campaigning for McKinney. I mean Jesse was in the district last week--haven't these people suffered enough?

When/If Majette wins, she will be somewhat beholden to the Republican crossovers who gave her the win.
To: Pat Bateman
They go back a long way; they once shared a saucer...
To: Numbers Guy
Oh, I don't know....anyone who would vote for her in the first place can't have very much on the ball.
