I think her handlers are going to see to it she's gone VERY soon. She's saying too many goofy things that are beginning to embarass the Left, and the public is quickly discovering this is a professional activist, not a bereaved mom.
I think that's part of the reason for her now refusing to talk to anyone who is not the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq (and she will apparently only do that in private). And I remember reading an article in which a reporter described how, in the beginning of her "vigil," a person could simply walk up to her and talk, but with each day there was a new layer of handlers to shield her from anyone wishing to speak with her. And why Daily Kos had to suggest the establishment of the cult of "Mother Sheehan." People can read her statements, or see an interview on television, and know that something is just a little off. She is not resonating. It's like during the Presidential campaign, when Kerry's poll numbers would go down when he was in front of the cameras too much, and would go up when he would have his surrogates speak for him.
Me, I'm waiting for her to start screaming to a television camera during a live broadcast, "It's the JOOOOOOS!"

I think you're right. All those irrational and ignorant statements she's been making is embarrassing the Left; in spite of the fact that privately they all agree with her. Funny how that works. Their words only sound intelligent to them in their private chats and backroom forums. The minute those same opinions are shouted out loudly for all to hear, replayed again and again, they are seen for what they truly are. The irrational, ignorant rantings of a mentally unstable person who does not care about truth and facts, only "feelings".
