Sheehan vs. Pelosi
Cindy Sheehan announces she'll run against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in next year's congressional race.
What an irony. Sheehan's highly publicized opposition to the war in Iraq after her son's death there in 2004 probably helped Democrats win last year's congressional elections, which put Pelosi in as speaker. But Democrats, and Pelosi, apparently have been a big disappointment to Sheehan, who wants U.S. troops out tomorrow and President Bush impeached to boot.
What should Pelosi do, ignore Sheehan or actually debate the merits of an immediate pullout and impeachment?
I'd guess Pelosi will try to ignore Sheehan for as long as she can.
Sheehan can't win, but she can embarrass Pelosi in her very liberal San Francisco district by forcing the speaker, eventually, to explain why Sheehan's demands aren't practical.

Cindy will do fine! I wouldn't bet against Cindy nor the new amazing political growth movement that is taking place right under mainstream media noses. Cindy is the Ron Paul of the left. Whoever thought that Cindy would become a constitutionist and a Truth 9/11 leader?
