John Coyne, left, and Hank Johnson debate in Atlanta, Friday, July 7, 2006. At the first of two televised debates among the candidates seeking the Fourth Congressional District seat currently held by Rep. Cynthia McKinney, the congresswoman’s absence didn’t keep her out of the discussion. Coyne, who is challenging McKinney along with Johnson, said he wasn’t expecting McKinney to attend the debate.

AP: McKinney is a debate no-show, again

U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney let an empty podium speak for her again Saturday as the congresswoman skipped the second of two televised debates in the race for the 4th Congressional District.

Organizers of the debate, held at the WSB-TV studio in Midtown and aired live, said they received no response from McKinney’s campaign about whether she would attend, despite numerous attempts to contact her to confirm. Still, media panelists opened the hourlong debate with three McKinney-related questions before quizzing candidates John Coyne III and Hank Johnson, Jr., about issues including the Iraq war, education, health care and immigration.

Is McKinney too good to debate her opponents? Or is she taking her constituents for granted?

Probably both.

    She gives black women a bad name, she is in the wrong, but uses the race card
    shame on her, for using her skin color to bypass personal responsibility
