McKinney Overlooks a Reason for Her Defeat

/Cynthia McKinney has identified half a dozen culprits for her defeat. Let's just enumerate a few that she has blamed:

Black Churches
Voting Machines
Crossover Republicans
"Comatose" Black Politics
Media
Whites
Jews
Anti-Feminists

I think I may have missed a culprit or two, or maybe disaggregated Republicans and Whites.

But Ms. McKinney has one major reason that she has overlooked:

Her own outspoken impolitic extremist views on a number of issues. Angela Davis on methamphetamines, perhaps. And the widespread perception that her physical assault on a Capitol policeman may indicate that she is temperamentally and emotionally unfit for any public office, outside of perhaps dogcatcher.

Hopefully, this emotionally-disturbed agitator's political career has come to a timely end.
