Sheehan Considering Run Vs. House Speaker Pelosi

(AP) CRAWFORD, Texas Six weeks after announcing her departure from the peace movement, Cindy Sheehan said Sunday that she plans to run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unless she introduces articles of impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks.

Sheehan said she will run against the San Francisco Democrat in 2008 as an independent if Pelosi does not seek by July 23 to impeach Bush. That’s when Sheehan and her supporters are to arrive in Washington, D.C., after a 13-day caravan and walking tour starting next week from the group’s war protest site near Bush’s Crawford ranch.

“Democrats and Americans feel betrayed by the Democratic leadership,” Sheehan told The Associated Press. “We hired them to bring an end to the war. I’m not too far from San Francisco, so it wouldn’t be too big of a move for me. I would give her a run for her money.”

Agreed. I live in Pelosi’s district, and can verify that this is the only district in the country where Sheehan would actually be competitive, if not the favorite! Pelosi is considered a conservative by many of the commies that live here. Our current boy Mayor (whom many of you despise) barely beat his socialist opponent in the last election, despite having support of the entire democratic establishment including the Clintons.

Would be quite entertaining to have a competitive congressional race here, which we haven’t seen for decades. No doubt Sheehan is quite popular in Barbara Lee’s district, too, but she wouldn’t have an issue there since Barbara has consistently voted against the war.

Ick. The thought of buying anything owned by that person makes my skin crawl.
