As the Democrats gear up for their convention next week, Cynthia McKinney wants you to know that they're not the most progressive game in town. The Green Party presidential candidate says her party is the one that's truly dedicated to social justice and ecological wisdom. McKinney sums up her philosophy on energy with a simple rhyme: "Leave the oil in the soil." As she tells Grist in an interview, "Right now we've got two energy policies in this country. One is war, the other is drilling. And neither one of them works." It's a message she hopes will win over voters who have tired of both the Democratic and Republican parties.
