	washingtonpost.com: Impact of McKinney Loss Worries Some Democrats
		Aided by hefty contributions from Jewish donors and big vote totals in predominantly white precincts, former state judge Denise Majette soundly defeated McKinney -- 58 percent to 42 percent -- in Tuesday's primary in Georgia.
		Majette is strongly favored to win the Nov. 5 general election in the solidly Democratic district near Atlanta.
		Although both Majette and McKinney are African American, the unusual interest in their primary by pro-Israel groups backing Majette and by pro-Muslim groups backing McKinney triggered talk yesterday of a potential for sharpened conflicts between fls and Jews -- in Georgia and elsewhere.

	The Black Commentator - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Bogus Election "Study" - Issue 15
		Denise Majette's claims to substantial African American support in the August election, as well as the political conclusions offered by the newspaper and the many media outlets that have cited its reports, are based on phantom voters, wishful thinking and phony numbers - lies made of whole cloth.
		Majette benefited from an unprecedented campaign of vilification against incumbent Cynthia McKinney, waged by allies and supporters of President Bush, from right wing talk radio hosts to reporters and pundits, who unanimously painted her as unprincipled, unbalanced, unpatriotic, a fl racist and anti-Semite, an unapologetic supporter of "terrorism".
		Majette will be the only member of the Congressional Black Caucus to have arrived there by losing the fl vote in her district four to one, while winning the approval of 90 to 95% of her white neighbors.

	CONGRESSIONAL PROFILE
		Majette, to be sure, has already proven herself adept in the political race, bursting upon the national scene with her upset victory over former Rep. Cynthia McKinney last August.

		Majette’s passion for the post stems directly from a legal career that began immediately after the Brooklyn native earned her bachelor’s degree in history from Yale University and her law degree from Duke University.
