Sheehan considers challenge to Pelosi
CRAWFORD, Texas – Cindy Sheehan, the soldier’s mother who galvanized the anti-war movement, said Sunday that she plans to seek House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat 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.”
Pelosi won with 80% of the vote in the last election. The Green Party candidate managed 8%. Cindy’s “run for her money” might get what — 10%?
I’m sure she’ll get the majority of the radical whackjob vote. That’s a guaranteed 6 or 7 per cent in San Francisco. Can’t wait for the campaign appearances with scrotum man and Hugo Chavez.
(Don’t click on the scrotum man link if you have a weak stomach, he’s a well known Bay Area activist/nutjob. Ok, go ahead, click on it — you know you want to.)
Heh, Green Party candidate Forrest Hill runs for election.
Via Hot Air.
