[Sosfbay-discuss] FW: Re: McKinney on possible Green run

Fri Jun 22 16:16:39 PDT 2007

I'll believe she's serious when she actually steps
forward.  She's been teasing us for a very long time. 
Frankly I don't think she's going to go Green.  I
think her ties are too strong to the Dems (including
the need to retire Dem debt).  Feet stuck in
concrete...

Impeach for Peace!
