Green Party names Cynthia McKinney as presidential pick


Memo to media: Obama is not the only African-American nominee in this Presidential race.

CHICAGO - The U.S. Green Party, which captured far less than 1 percent of the vote in the last presidential election, chose former Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney as its 2008 presidential candidate on Saturday.

McKinney, 53, will be joined on the ticket for the November election by vice presidential candidate Rosa Clemente, a hip-hop artist and activist.
McKinney received 313 out of 532 votes cast at the party's nominating convention in Chicago, party spokesman Scott McLarty said.

Congrats to Mrs. McKinney I hope she does well and maybe Obama can place in his cabinet. Powell and Rice will be charged with War Crimes so they wont be able to get jobs. Now McKinney is the third woman to run for President. Shirley Chisholm was first, Hillary was second.
