73. The lies and the smears have worked... Guess it's time to start booking your rooms at the FEMA detention camps, fellow Liberals, for this is what Majette's victory portends...

LOL. I take it they've given up on their "McKinney Victory Thread."
If there are any DU lurkers, I have just one question. How could you support someone that you KNOW accepted campaign contributions from several Arabs with terrorist ties on the afternoon of September 11? Have you given that any thought at all?
Which statement was that?
McKinney's campaign director, State Rep Tyrone Brooks, claims that all of those folks will be paid in checks, supposedly all written by hand (right!) by McKinney's mother.
Sounds like more smoke and mirrors to me.
The Nation of Islam representatives stormed out of the campaign location where this was taking place, and the WGCL reporter says she overheard a couple of them insisting loudly that they would never be involved in something as shoddily run as this was ever again...
How can this statement be true...
In another high-profile primary in the Atlanta area, Democrats confounded predictions of a light turnout and flocked to polls in the DeKalb and Gwinnett counties to decide a bitter contest that was seen as a mini-referendum on U.S. support for Israel.
If *this* statement is true:
Jewish groups, meanwhile, helped fund the campaign of Majette, 46, which drew support from thousands of Republicans who jumped ship to vote in the Democratic primary.
Those THOUSANDS of votes are coming from REPUBLICANS in a DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY!!!!!!! It's not just democrats who "flocked to the polls." It's Republicans who "jumped ship."
What the hell remedy or preventative measure could observers have done to stop such an underhanded move? Carter can't be there for EVERY damn election! Repukes are literally slicing the throats of progressive candidates everywhere and it's so frustrating to sit here and watch it happen. Where was the showing of support for Cynthia by Democratic Pary big-wigs? Where was the vote of confidence for her work? Why the hell are we allowing these masquerading DINOS the opportunity to further sink our already bruised and abused nation into corporate, fascist hell?
I'm at a loss. What do we do? Where do we go from here?

Thier ideological spin is false, because Barr lost to another conservative.
Mathematically stated, the chances of a Pubbie winning in this District approach zero so closely that the chance is indistinguishable from zero.
