ATLANTA, Aug. 9 (UPI) -- Controversial U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., has lost in a Democratic primary run-off, with analysts predicting the end of her political career.
The six-term veteran who made headlines with her Sept. 11 conspiracy theories that President George Bush had advance warning of the attacks, and an assault of a Capitol police officer this year fell to Hank Johnson, a former county commissioner.
"It's the end of her political career," University of Georgia political scientist Charles Bullock told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It's done some real damage to the notion that she's got this loyal electorate that she can snap her fingers and mobilize."
McKinney's campaign manager, John Evans, said the "Capitol Hill incident" was especially damaging to McKinney.
"I think there's a lot of ABC involved -- Anybody But Cynthia," he said.
