McKinney in New Jersey

Cynthia McKinney, the controversial Democratic Congresswoman from Georgia, will be in New Jersey today to deliver the keynote speech at a campaign event for Newark City Councilman-At-Large Ras Baraka. Baraka was appointed to fill the seat left vacant by the death of Donald Tucker and is seeking election to a full four-year term tomorrow.

Rev. Al Sharpton will spend Election Day in Trenton campaigning for the re-election of Mayor Douglas Palmer. Four years ago, Sharpton campaigned with Sharpe James on Election Day.
