McKinney news makes me think about Majette -- "I don't need anybody's blessing. I get my blessings from God, and I do what I'm led to do."

Reading yesterday and today in the AJC's Political Insider that Cynthia McKinney, who served five often provocative terms as a U.S. congresswoman, has registered to vote in California and thus is now a resident of California, made me wonder if this might have occurred a couple of years earlier if, after serving less than two years in the U.S. House, Denise Majette had not shocked her 4th Congressional District constituents and the state Democratic Party leadership in 2004 when she announced that God had told her to run for the United States Senate.
