Why is Nader getting media press for running when McKinney announced there was nothing
I'm not for neither one of these idiots but when Cynthia McKinney announced she was seeking the green party nomination the media just ignored her.Nader announces and its MAJOR news from the media.

1. You are right...
I haven't heard anything about in months McKinney and she switched party affiliation to the Greens.

2. Probably because nader
already fucked up one election and has the name recognition. Mention McKinney to 100 people and I'll bet you more than 70% of them go "who?"

4. Because the Press Wants the Repigs to Win, and Nader is Helping Them (Again)

5. McKinney is a nobody, Nader has been force on the national scene since 1965
when "Unsafe at Any Speed" was published.
