Cynthia! is in the race:

The former six-term Democrat Congresswoman was ousted in 2006 from Georgia’s 4th Congressional district for the second time. In 2002, she spoke to the Black Congressional caucus claiming that President Bush had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks. She also openly solicited $10 million from the Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal; New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani rejected the check after the prince suggested U.S. foreign policy had brought on 9/11. McKinney’s actions resulted in her first electoral defeat in the 2002 Democratic primary, after serving five terms in office. On the night of her 2002 primary defeat, McKinney’s father told media, “Jews have bought everybody...J-E-W-S.” She came back in 2004, and promptly signed a “call for immediate inquiry into evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur.”

Whatever else this election season will be, it won't be boring.

Ms McKinney was to announce her candidacy at 12:30 PM here in Madison, but I only saw the posting at 1:30, so I didn't go, but we are having the worst darn snowstorm right now. Is the weather trying to tell us something?

If I went, I was going to try and ask a question that "The University of Wisconsin is trying to ban cell phones on campus on account of their possible use as a weapon and did Congresswoman McKinney have an opinion on that?" I guess I would have been hauled off for that one, but we can only dream.

I agree this isn't going to be a boring election!!

You've got Cynthia trying to Jew on more than she can bite, and arguments about the brotherhood of Lucifer and Jesus on the other:
