Is she making a comeback? “Checkpoint” Cynthia McKinney registers to vote in California, and is on the ballot

She’s back, and coming to California.  God help you.

McKinney registers in Calif., where some want to nominate her 

Former congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has registered to vote in California, where some want her to run for president as a Green Party candidate.

McKinney posted a letter on her Web site last month saying she has no interest in the Green Party nomination. But in recent weeks, she has appeared at fundraisers in California, where a group called Run! Cynthia! Run! is trying to draft her as the party’s candidate in California.

McKinney’s name already is on the ballot in California, along with six other Green Party candidates, including Ralph Nader. She and the others were nominated by a Green Party convention in September.

The fact that McKinney’s name remains on the ballot has given supporters hope, said John Morton, a California Green Party delegate.

“She’s got us all guessing, but she hasn’t removed her name, and that’s a good sign. I talked to her last week and she said she’s very interested but not ready to make an announcement.”

McKinney, who served five terms as a U.S. congresswoman representing a district east of Atlanta, has been registered to vote in Marin County, Calif., since May 4, 2007, according to records at the Marin County Registrar of Voters. Marin County is north of San Francisco.

McKinney served in Congress from 1993 to 2003, and from 2005 to 2007. She lost in the 2006 Democratic primary several months after she had a headline-grabbing scuffle with a Capitol Hill police officer.

Michelle Malkin adds:

Her location of registration? Marin County, naturally.

Of course.  Captain Ed says:

She follows the Truthers into thinking that the government aided the 9/11 attacks. She rails against the supposed Jewish influence on American politics. She slaps DC police for doing their job. She can’t even win in her own district anymore. Why not have Cynthia McKinney run for President — and what better party to represent?

Oh, please, please, please, I’m begging you Green Party advocates, get Cynthia to sign on the dotted (and dotty) line. Please have her run as a third-party candidate for the Greens. Let her stand up in the debates and give her conspiracy-theory tirades and her tortured explanations for assaulting the people trying to secure Capitol Hill on her behalf. We can even give her father some screen time to explain how the Joooooooos are out to get her.

Whatever you do, don’t ask for her ID.  She wields a mean cell phone.

    The Return Of Cynthia McKinney?…

    Cynthia McKinney may be running for political office again. This time in California, granola land (e.g. - the land of fruits, nuts and flakes). She’ll fit right in. Leaning Straight Up has the details.
