Anti-American "Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan may run against California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Sheehan's spokeswoman said Friday - even though Feinstein has met Sheehan's demand to back a filibuster against Supreme Court nominee Sam Alito.
"There are still a lot of other issues" where Sheehan and Feinstein disagree, her assistant Dede Miller told the Associated Press, citing Feinstein's support for the Iraq war.
In a statement released Friday from Caracas, Venezuela, where she's attending an anti-American conference host by President Hugo Chavez, Ms. Sheehan warned that if the California Democrat didn't back an Alito filibuster, she had "decided to run" for her Senate seat.
"I'm appalled that Diane [sic] Feinstein wouldn't recognize how dangerous Alito's nomination is to upholding the values of our constitution and restricting the usurpation of presidential powers," the Peace Mom said.
Around the same time, Sen. Feinstein's office announced that she would back an Alito filibuster, reversing a position she had confirmed only last Sunday, when the senator told CBS News: "I don't see those kinds of egregious things emerging that would justify a filibuster."
In a statement posted to her web site Friday, however, Sen. Feinstein insisted that she had changed her mind even before Sheehan issued her demand, saying: "I tried to indicate in my floor statement yesterday [that] I’ve decided that I will vote no on cloture."
But Sheehan's spokeswoman said it may be too late for the California Democrat to head off the Peace Mom's challenge.
Many supporters have been asking Sheehan to run for office, Miller insisted, telling the AP: "Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if she did."
The dimocRATs will crush cindy like a bug.
When Feinstein heard her master's command, she rolled over and barked 3 times. Good doggie, Cindy said to Feinstein, as she threw her a nice dry bone.
She-man sure thinks she's something, doesn't she. What a crazy moonbat.
Maybe we can encourage her to run for the presidency in '08.
That would be funny, especially if she won the nomination.

Surely Freepers can help her by coming up with a catchy campaign slogan...
This is pretty amazing. Feinstein feels she has to respond to CINDY SHEEHAN!

Sorry, I didn't mean that to sound like it was a bad thing. :=)
You mean these stories are serious? That makes it even Funnier! LOL!!!

Starting a Sheehan/Sharpton exploratory committe would be messy though...
