Just shut up and eat, Cindy.

ATLANTA - Democratic firebrand Rep. Cynthia McKinney started preparing Wednesday for a surprise runoff with former DeKalb County Commissioner Hank Johnson, who has deep roots in the heart of her core constitency.

With 99 percent of the precincts reporting, McKinney finished with 47 percent of the vote to Johnson’s 45 percent.

“We’ve been here before, but you know what? It is impossible to keep a good woman down,” McKinney told cheering supporters, shortly after dancing and playing a tambourine.

“I intend to fight the good fight. I will continue to tell the truth and I will challenge anyone who dares to destroy anything about the work that I do. … This battle is now engaged, and we intend to win.”

Tuesday’s primary was the first time that McKinney faced voters since her scuffle with a Capitol Hill police officer in March. Four years ago, McKinney was upset in the Democratic primary by political newcomer Denise Majette, who vacated the seat after one term to run for the Senate, opening the door for McKinney’s return to Congress.

Some of Tuesday’s voters said McKinney, who is seeking her seventh term, was an embarrassment and not representative of her suburban Atlanta district.

Cynthia McKinney’s hates the United States military yet uses military terms to describe her political campaign. The only war McKinney and her friends, Cindy Sheehan and Medea Benjamin care to deploy to is the Media War against America.

The frumps, due to their strict fasts have to stay close to home and can’t be forward deployed like CNN.

Though, just PFC’s, in their own minds they’re generals.
