First Cynthia McKinney skipped some debates. Now she's skipped a whole week of votes (and other Congressional business):
Rep. Cynthia McKinney was a no-show this week in the U.S. House, as WSB Washington Correspondent Jamie Dupree reports that the Georgia Democrat missed all four days of legislative business and every vote on the House floor as well.
[...]
McKinney missed 19 votes over four days on the House floor, including an attempted override of President Bush's veto of a bill dealing with embryonic stem cell research, a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage and a bill designed to prevent federal courts from ruling on the constitutionality of the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.
For someone running for re-election, she has a strange way of showing it. The story does note that she had taken an official re-election for two of these days, but even so, this seems like strange behavior for someone in a tight re-election bid.
