McKinney Ousted in Ga. Primary
Wed Aug 21,12:33 AM ET

ATLANTA (AP) - Five-term Rep. Cynthia McKinney, who stunned even fellow Democrats by criticizing the Bush administration after Sept. 11, was ousted in Georgia's primary Tuesday by a political unknown. McKinney lost to Denise Majette, a Yale-educated former judge who had never run a statewide campaign before. With 68 percent of precincts reporting, Majette had 39,926 votes, or 61 percent; McKinney had 25,283 votes, or 39 percent.

Even before she won, the diminutive Majette was dancing at campaign headquarters. Standing on a platform so she could see over the podium, she told supporters: "I may only be 5-foot-1, but tonight I am 10 feet tall."

Looks like the good folks in Georgia came to their senses!
