ATLANTA - Former Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney, who was ousted from office last year after a headline-grabbing scuffle with a Capitol Hill police officer, has decided to seek the presidency — as a Green Party candidate.

In a video posted on the Internet on Tuesday, McKinney criticized the war in Iraq and complained about Democrats and Republicans, saying both parties are beholden to corrupt corporate interests. She called the Green Party "my new political home."

McKinney, 52, registered to vote in California after a group called Run! Cynthia! Run! began drafting her as the Green Party's candidate there. Since then, she had made campaign appearances in Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

I hope to gosh she doesn't get selected by the Green Party. She could be enough of a problem to change the outcome, depending upon the major party candidates...One more reason to support Edwards who not only is more appealing to independents and republicans, but is running on the same issues she is: corporatists in both parties, the war, etc.
