Cynthia McKinney is running for president as the Green Party candidate. While the Green Party has been the mini party is past elections, with the press and attention that the environment and energy is getting these days, I’m sure that they’ll get more votes this time around.

I bet more people in the United States are more familiar with Tupac than they are with any of the past of present American presidents. Good or bad, that’s how it is.

“Every candidate has to reintroduce themself at some point in the campaign, especially after the nomination has been clinched. But for Barack Obama it’s a bigger deal because people, it turns out, people not only don’t know that much about him but what they think they know is so often not true,” Ifill said.
