The leftosphere didn’t want to claim her, while the rightosphere openly encouraged her opponent, Hank Johnson. That’s about what happened when Denise Majette bested McKinney in the primary four years ago, when conservative bloggers cheered on the anti-McKinney. Both Majette and Johnson campaigned as moderates, though Majette all but gave McKinney the seat back during her Katherine Harris-esque run for the Senate two years later.

Will this meeting be an 'elect Hank' affair or a 'Get Cynthia' affair. It seems to me as if Hank Johnson is clutching at any straw he can find in order to find donors, whether they have the best interest of the democratic party in mind or not. I can assure you sir, had you runn against Cynthia McKiiney, you would have lost...badly. I can see that jacewalden has a problem with being civilized and having a discussion without resorting to personal insults, sadly a trait shared by many on conservative blogs such as this. Back to Hank, He runs a purely negative campaign with no real message. Every single news item on his website is a negative piece about Cynthia Mckinney and does not contain one positive piece about himself. What does this tell you? The majority of articles come from the Atlanta Journal Constitution, owned by Cox Broadcasting, which as it happens also owns WSB Radio, which features among tis hosts Neal Boortz, who referred to McKinney as a 'ghetto slut', and Sean Hannity, who will have Hank Johnson on his Fox show 'hannity and Colmes'. The bulk of McKinneys bad press comes from these two entities, Cox Broadcasting and the Fox Network. What is their political persuasion? Aren't they extremely conservative? Does anybody see a trend emerging? Conservative press hound McKinney on all fronts and then support her democratic challenger, both journalistically and now monetarily (see the party Peachpundit are throwing for him). I think Hanks courting of the Conservative Press and donors speaks volumes about his character. He is an opportunist who ridden on the back of McKinneys bad press and does not have a positive message. I await you civilized repies.

Not just voters in the 4th District. She's also an embarassment to the Democratic Party. It's one thing to be anti-war, hell, it's one thing to be liberal. But Cynthia McKinney is batshit crazy, a virulent racsist, an elitist, and an avowed socialist. Oh, and can you please name some of the legislation that McKinney has passed in her succesful career? If that's the "best job" a "liberal" can do, then I think you can see why the Democratic Party is a failing institution. Rick Day,

As a card-carrying conservative (actually, I don't have the card -- sorta feeling left out there ;-) ), I am ideologically opposed to everything you say is "the best job they can (the liberal, that is)" do; however, I hope that they keep doing it, because if McKinney represents that "best job" then the Democrat party will be short-lived indeed.

Attack tactics like this really motivate me. To send another $100 to the McKinney campaign. Thanks for the motivation! Anytime a conservative attacks a liberal, it means they are doing the best job they can (the liberal, that is). Ahh yes, just what the 4th needs, another Bush/war supporter.
