Let me preface this by saying that I like Cynthia McKinney and always relished in her spunk and abilties to question the administration balled-faced.

That said, what her loss underscores to me is that, yes, the "loonie left" ISN'T taking over the party, but, rather the center is doing something Republicans WON'T do: kick out people of questionable character who swat at police officers (even if they're not indicted).

McKinney may have had a lot about her that's correct and good, but that incident - whether blown out of proportion or not - proves that WE'RE able to vote our alleged law-breakers out of office, unlike, oh, I don't know, those Republican voters in Texas who KEPT Tom Delay in the primaries, despite all the alleged law-breaking HE'S accused of.

I totally get your point.
