McKinney wins first Presidential Debate

'I would leave the oil in the soil'

'The problem is militarism...I would not [just] say bring the troops back from Iraq, I would say bring them back period'

'I would support Chavez in Venezuela and Morales in Bolivia, Correa in Ecuador..in all those countries that have.'

Cynthia McKinney

Well the candidates for the most important election in the world (Election for Green Party Presidential candidate USA) met over the weekend and did hustings. 800 Party members in San Francisco came along to listen.

Call me an electoral anorak but I cannot get enough of this stuff!


I am 'Go Cynthia Go' man myself, I think Ralph Nader could be redder and greener or greener and redder but he is an impressive candidate... We will see, the Democrats are not producing radical candidates with credible policies...its still war, oil addiction (with a bit of carbon trading and a dash of biofuel) and corporate dominance.

or here is a bit easier to use

'I am a wannabe revolutionary' said Jared seeming to back Cynthia.

Jared Ball, a Professor of Hip Hop...was very good in the debate!
