Big Day in Politics (GA)

In Georgia, another nutjob, this time an incumbent, tries to save her bacon. Cynthia "My Job in Life is to Play the Race Card" McKinney, who failed to top 50% in her primary, is in the 2nd fight of her political life, as a more sane man attempts to get on the ballot as a Democrat this fall. While I think McKinney's a nutjob, and a disgrace to Congress, she's a far bigger disgrace to her party (which should be working actively for her ouster, though if that were to happen the whole of the CBC and McKinney would whip out their race cards and raise hell) - and for that reason, pure partisan hackery, I'd love to have her stay around. For every time Democrats talk about getting tough on national security, we can roll out the comments of loonies like her and say, "No, no you're not getting serious on national security" (though if party unity's the standard, I suppose that justifies Lamont and would require the GOP to deal with Gil Gutknecht and Walter Jones, to say nothing of Ron Paul; I guess it's back to the drawing board on that one).
