Cynthia McKinney Routed in Primary Battle
In Texas High School baseball, when one team is winning by 10 runs or more after the 5th inning, the 10 run rule is declared and the game is over. This rule saves the losing team the embarrassment of a rout. If I were coaching Cynthia McKinney, I would have asked for the 10 Run Rule to be invoked. She not only lost, she lost bad.
Cynthia McKinney, the fiery Georgia congresswoman known for her conspiracy theories about the Sept. 11 attacks and the scuffle she had earlier this year with a U.S. Capitol Police officer, lost a runoff election Tuesday for her district’s Democratic nomination.
Attorney Hank Johnson, a former county commissioner, soundly defeated McKinney by more than 12,000 votes, winning 59 percent of the total vote. More than 70,000 votes were cast — 9,000 more than in the primary three weeks ago.
Cynthia McKinney went on to blame whites, Republicans, and voting machine malfunctions for her loss. Somehow she still can’t admit anything was ever her fault. At least her campaign manager had the guts to call it as it was. The problem was Cynthia McKinney.
Her campaign manager, John Evans, blamed the loss on the ABC — Anybody But Cynthia — strategy.
The people of Georgia are better off without McKinney. She is an embarrassment to the entire state.
For his part Hank Johnson can say he routed Cynthia McKinney in the Democratic Primary, although it would be funny if he could say, “I 10 run ruled McKinney.”
