"Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan is predicting that Jonathan Tasini, the anti-war candidate she's backing in the New York Senate race, will either defeat Hillary Clinton or "cripple" the top Democrat's political prospects for future races.
"I think Jonathan has a really good chance of beating her," Sheehan told NY1 news on Tuesday, after endorsing Tasini's candidacy at a Manhattan rally earlier in the day.
Sheehan then added: "But if he doesn't beat her, I think he has a really good chance of crippling her to show the world that she is not a progressive."
Tasini was a virtual unknown until last week, when he forced New York State Democrats who had just nominated Mrs. Clinton for a second term at their convention in Buffalo to vote on a resolution condemning the Iraq war as "illegal."
It passed in a voice vote that sounded like a landslide. Tasini's primary challenge could give Mrs. Clinton more grief than most observers think.
A Zogby poll released last Tuesday found that New Yorkers of both parties are staunchly anti-war. In a contest between Mrs. Clinton and an unnamed anti-war candidate, the result was a near tie - with 38 percent backing Hillary and 32 percent lining up behind her opponent.
Numbers like that are fueling Tasini and Sheehan's optimism.
"How can it be that we have a Democratic senator who voted for the war, who's position is like Bush?" he asked NY1. "Democratic primary voters don't want that kind of senator."
With media magnet Sheehan by his side, Tasini will be even more difficult to ignore as he campaigns for the 15,000 signatures he needs to get on the ballot for the Sept. 12 primary.
At last something I can agree with Cindy Sheehan on.
Nostalgia time! It's 1968! "The Whole World's Watching!"
Cindy will end up with cement shoes if she does not watch her mouth. Add her to the Clinton death list.
(Denny Crane: "Every one should carry a gun strapped to their waist. We need more - not less guns.")
What we have here is a good old fashion cat fight.
On second thought, make that a dog fight.
A much more interesting show than watching the Republicans devour each other.
Did the MSM report the landslide Dem vote on the Iraq war?..I didn't hear a thing about it..
I dare you Cindy. I double-dare you!!
Yet, ANOTHER example from the party that espouses tolerance.
Where is Jeff Gillooly when you need him???
You're EEEEEVVVVIIIILLLLL!
;)
The lame-stream media will be laying the smack down on Mother Sheehan for this. Or in Orwellian terms, she will fall down the memory hole.
What's Cindy gonna use? A Full Nelson, Coco-Butt, or the famous Claw Hold of Killer Kowalski?
Cindy will be taking a stroll through Marcy Park if she keeps spouting like that.
Please!!!
Do not insult dogs!
