Not that anyone should make too much of this, but that quote (from an analyst from the non-partisan Cook Political Report) is the take away from this Washington Post article.
Among the notable moments in the piece is the explanation of why Democrat Cynthia “tennis shoes” McKinney lost tonight. After 9/11, she suggested that Bush might have had prior knowledge of the attacks. Which is just sheer lunacy. As a result of this and other “missteps” she lost the 2002 Democratic primary to another black candidate (who then ran for Senate, effectively handing the House seat back to McKinney). State Rep. Billy McKinney spelled out the reason for his daughter’s political troubles that election night: “J-E-W-S.”
Ouch. Note to all Georgia pols. Keep the family members on a short leash. Remember Billy.
