From The Nation:

McKinney does not spend much time attacking either the Democrat or the Republican. Rather, the former state legislator and six-term member of the House – whose broad experience as a child of the civil rights movement, a community activist, an educator and a state and national official compares favorably with both of her big-party rivals – simply says: \"Don\'t expect me to keep a count of the major flip flops of the other candidates between now and November. I\'m sure there will be plenty. They are in this flip flop because they have to appear to share our values -- while they serve somebody else.\"

That \"somebody else\" comment is a reference to the corporate and governmental elites that Cynthia McKinney has spent a lifetime battling. She has her scars. But she is still reasonably young by presidential politics standards – just 53 – and she is still appealing and appropriately idealistic.

Don\'t talk about \"wasted votes\" or \"spoiling\" that which is already spoiled, she says

\"We are in this to build a movement,\" McKinney told the cheering delegates. \"A vote for the Green Party is a vote for the movement that will turn this country right-side-up again.\"
