SAN FRANCISCO -- Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan qualified today for a November showdown with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, collecting the signatures needed to get on the ballot as an independent candidate for Congress.
"We're very excited," said Sheehan, 51, the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq who is well-known for her protest outside President Bush's Texas ranch. "Now we have to get organized and regroup."
Republican Dana Walsh and Libertarian Philip Berg will join Pelosi and Sheehan on the Nov. 4 ballot.
The collection of signatures by Sheehan's campaign was more exciting than usual. On Wednesday, the campaign was well short of the 10,198 signatures needed to get on the ballot after San Francisco elections officials found that more than 40 percent of the people who signed weren't registered in the city's Eighth Congressional District.
Sheehan's supporters redoubled their efforts to collect enough signatures to beat the 5 p.m. Friday deadline, ultimately turning in more than 17,000 signatures to ensure that she qualified.
"It was a little disconcerting to see all the problems with the signatures," Sheehan said from her Mission Street headquarters, where more than 100 supporters gathered to celebrate. "The last couple of days I've been checking the registrations myself on the computer."
With her ballot spot guaranteed, Sheehan can focus on the fall campaign, where she will challenge Pelosi from the left, slamming the speaker for refusing to start impeachment proceedings against President Bush and not taking a stronger stance against the war in Iraq.
"The next part is going to be exciting," she said. "I want at least one debate with all four candidates so that Nancy Pelosi has to answer for her record."

Hustler magazine gave Cindy a big puff-piece article this month. Luckily, no nudity.

Let the RATS fight each other!
She was whining about how about half of the signatures that were collected were bogus or not valid.
She said some of them were collected by people that were paid $1 for each signature.
I've know people that do that for money, and they use any name they can make up for their dollar.
And then on Sheehan’s site, she asks for donations and says that Ten dollars will get her 10 VALID signatures.
They must have went for it.
I'm amazed she got qualified.
That’s exactly why NO one buys it for the articles.
Who will the SanFranSickos choose? And, what's the difference between the two?
This is the message we must send to black voters - to win 25% of the black vote and keep the White House in the hands of Republicans.
We have produced eye-opening radio and TV ads that expose Obama as a far left-winger with the most liberal voting record in Congress.
Our powerful TV and radio ads compare Obama to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and show, clearly, that Obama is no MLK.
Highlighted in the ads is Dr. Alveda C. King, niece of MLK, who affirms that her uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was, indeed, a Republican.
Fewer black Americans will vote for Obama when they hear our radio ad, see our TV ad and learn the truth about Obama — including how Obama obtained funding for a slum project in Chicago.
Featured in our TV ad is footage from the Boston Globe’s interview of black Americans who condemn Obama for their rat and roach invested living conditions in the Chicago slum.
The main stream media is hiding the real Obama, and we need your help to expose him.
Can I count on you to help with your most generous gift in the amount of $25, $50, $75, $250, $500, $1,000 or more to fund our truth about Obama radio and TV ad campaign?
Whatever you can send - $25, $50, $75 - is needed immediately. Time is running out!
If we can convince just 25% of black voters that Obama does not share their values and is not fit to be our president, we can stop the Democrats from capturing the White House.
That’s why I’m asking for your very best gift - at least $25 - and that you rush it to me immediately. Thank you!

Forget that, let Pelosi deal with the moonbat. Send money to the Marriage Amendment organization in California to overturn the California Supreme Court.
It almost sounds like a Rovian plot. lol.
