McKinney In Trouble
From InsiderAdvantage Georgia:
Cynthia McKinney is in trouble and her future, indeed, is in doubt after she was forced into a runoff Tuesday for her 4th District post – the one she lost to Denise Majette in 2002 and then regained in 2004 when Majette made a quixotic bid for the U.S. Senate.
“I think the McKinney camp got caught sleeping because they didn’t see the organized effort they saw with Majette,” said one Democratic activist with deep ties to the movers and shakers of urban politics. “They just didn’t see the temperature ... Voters got tired of Cynthia and her games. Finally, enough was enough.”
Another Democratic activist who is thoroughly familiar with DeKalb County politics said, “What you saw is, Hank has a base down there. He was an effective county commissioner in South DeKalb County ... I think she’s in trouble. The money’s going to pour in (for Johnson.)”
The outlook from both: "It's highly unlikely she will win the runoff. Johnson's supporters will more likely come out than Cynthia McKinney's supporters. People are more motivated when they are voting against someone than when they are voting for someone."
