PRESIDENT CYNTHIA McKINNEY?
Special Report by the Creative Youth News Team

October 12, 2007

As if the week weren't bad enough for George W. Bush with one popular Democratic Presidential candidate (Dennis Kucinich) announcing his plans to have Bush and members of his administration arrested following his inauguration, Bush may have two candidates to fear. 

A packed audience at Pitzer College in Claremont California was abuzz with the question: Will Cynthia run?  Rumors have spread like wildfire that Cynthia soon may be announcing plans to run for President of the United States on the Green Party ticket.  If the audience at the Avery Auditorium at Pitzer College on October 11, 2007, was any indication of the position of voters, former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney could well be on her way to becoming the next President of the United States. She received applause after applause, including standing ovations.  From the audience questions and reactions, it was clear that the audience was fed up with the two-party system.  Ms. McKinney received more applause as she discussed the problems with both parties.  To her comment that Nancy Pelosi's name should be added to the list of those impeached, yells of "Yeah" accompanied the applause from the audience.

Ms. McKinney comes across as gentle and sweet but knowledgeable and willing to do what is needed to protect the interests of the American people.  One audience member observed that she looked like a fashion model.  Yet, McKinney was more knowledgeable and honest than anyone remembered of any current or recent potential Presidential contender with the exception of Dennis Kucinich .

McKinney was  elegant and well-reasoned in her response to questions, answering with the truth, instead of rhetoric.  No security was present to taser any students at this audience.  McKinney loved the students and they loved her.  She also put in a plug for Cindy Sheehan, who could use extra volunteers in her campaign against Nancy Pelosi.

Her presentation was highlighted by a crowd-pleasing rap performance by  Wil B.    Popular rapper Wil B, who likes Dennis Kucinich best of the Democratic Presidential candidates and who believe Kucinich can win the nomination, sees the possibility of an independent Presidential bid by Cynthia McKinney as a plus for the voters.

McKinney is not saying what her decision will be in terms of running for President.  However, she did say there would be an announcement soon.  This is great news to Democrats, who have long viewed Ms. McKinney as a national hero.  Last year, she was Diebolded in a George primary, where her name was not on the ballot on Diebold machines in some precincts and McKinney votes were switched to Johnson votes on Diebold machines where her name was listed.  Complaining voters were not given any remedy to cast their vote for the candidate of their choice.  The Democratic Party, though it was informed about the illegal election-rigging, did nothing to save the day for the voters or to overturn an election that would have kept McKinney in Congress for another term.  One national Democratic Club (the Patrick Henry Democratic Club of America) declared Ms. McKinney its Congresswoman of the year.  Progressive groups across party lies hailed her as a hero for filing Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice.

McKinney's entry into the race would change the Democratic landscape.  If Edwards, Obama or Clinton is nominated, instead of having to vote for Ron Paul or stay home, progressive Democrats would have the option of voting for Cynthia McKinney.    Without Kucinich as its candidate,  analysts, taking into account Democratic dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party, have serious doubts that the Democratic Party can win.  One analyst told the news team, "The Democratic Party is ignoring reality and conducting business as usual.  It's going to lose its shirt in the next Presidential election. "

The only question is whether an independent candidate could get on the ballot in enough states to win.  The public is poised to elect an independent.  The question is whether Kucinich,  McKinney or both will jump.  To try to prevent Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul from going independent, the conservatives in their respective parties have placed well-financed primary challengers in Kucinich's and Paul's Congressional districts.  They usually landslide to victory.  Apparently, their parties are hoping that these primary challengers will deter Kucinich and Paul from jumping.  Kucinich, who has always shown courage, hinted at the Latino Congreso that he might consider the jump. 

The Creative Youth News Team took a survey this morning of Democratic-leaning participants who will be 18 or above in 2008.  The question was, "Would you vote independent if the Democratic Party nominates Edwards, Obama or Clinton?"  with the results being that 90% would vote independent if the independent candidate was Kucinich, 87% if the independent candidate was McKinney and 79% if the independent candidate was Ron Paul. Participants saw both major parties as completely out of touch.

The Creative Youth News Team will be checking announcements from the Secretary of State's office to see if America is headed towards making history by electing an independent or third party President.
