Green prez candidate hopes to get five percent of nationwide popular vote in November. Yeah, right, and the Cubs will win the World Series! …hmmmm…

I also hope that Cynthia McKinney will get at least 5% of the vote, since that would split the liberals and help McCain win. However, that won’t happen. In 2004, the Green Party candidate, David Cobb, received 0.1% of the vote. McKinney’s goal should be 0.15%.

>>>Hundreds gather at South Side gun violence protest
Hmm, the tribune and the suntimes both ignored the 1000 pro-gun folk gathered at the Thompson center on Friday. Ch 7 showed coverage, however:
