Current Event #6

My current event this week deals with Green Party nominee Cynthia McKinney. McKinney has been known to be a very quiet and somewhat reclusive candidate. Sources note that her schedule is very carefree and she often avoids answering her personal phone. McKinney has served in the National Government from 1993-2003 in the House of Representatives, and again from 2005-2007. On Dec. 11 of last year, McKinney was officially announced as the Green Party's nominee for the presidential race. Currently, McKinney is on the ballot in thirty two different states. Though as a third party member, nobody expects her to even come close to being a serious competitor, many people say that they will give her thier vote. McKinney and the Green Party are looking at a 2-5% popular vote, thus encouraging third party involvement into the future.
