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.
Congrats, I hope this means they sent has-been Nader to the old folks home.
