This is incredible! She's advocating that the grassroots attempt to take over the Democratic Party. How can this be anything but good? Sheehan is awesome. Pelosi better listen up good. You don't get to be a half-Republican and still be entitled to left-wing Democratic support. Right on! This is an amazing action! I can't wait to see what DailyKos and DU think about this. I'll bet they're foaming at the mouth over it. Ha! Sure enough - Should Cindy run? Heck no! Good for you, Cindy. Scare the crap out of those Republicrats! Just gonna check out the comments in the thread now and see how many of those nice, progressive Democrats are calling her a whore now. [ 09 July 2007: Message edited by: Michelle ]

There is no risk of a repub winning Pelosi's San Francisco seat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelosi#Electoral_history Sheehan could easily finish ahead of the repub. Last time, the repub got 11% and the Green candidate got 8%, Pelosi won with 80% which was actually less than her usual margin of victory. The dems won the congress in November in large part by promising to end the war and block the Bush madness. Sheehan helped them win and now probably feels personally betrayed and used. There is nothing wrong with applying strategic pressure on the congressional dems to motivate them to keep their own promises.

Against the war, against taxes, strict constitutionalist. Sounds like a paleoconservative.
