RUN, CINDY, RUN!

For Talk, Sheehan Campaign A Gift From Heaven







Run, Cindy, Run!

With goofy anti- war activist Cindy Sheehan now officially running against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco, talk hosts across the country are understandibly ecstatic. Could anything be more entertaining than watching these two duke it out?

More than that, it's symbolic of just how extreme Left Coast politics have become: Sheehan's in the race because Pelosi isn't liberal enough. Even more astounding is the fact that Cindy has a relatively good chance of winning!

For talk stations such as San Francisco's KSFO, this is like striking gold.

Sheehan says she won't enter the race if Pelosi meets a list of political conditions, but it seems very unlikely that would occur.

According to the AP's Paul J Weber, Sheehan will run as an independent and doesn't yet live in the district:

CRAWFORD, Texas — Bidding farewell to her former peace camp near President Bush's ranch, Cindy Sheehan began a nearly two-week trek toward Washington D.C. on Tuesday with her sights set on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Officially announcing her run against Pelosi in 2008 if the San Francisco congresswoman doesn't move to impeach Bush by July 23, Sheehan said she relates to the people in her home state and chided Pelosi for keeping troops in danger.

"I know what Californians care about," said Sheehan, who plans to run as an independent. "They don't care about the ruling power elite."

[...]

Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said Tuesday that Pelosi's "focus is on ending the war in Iraq."

"She believes that the best way to support our troops in Iraq is to bring them home safely and soon," Daly wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "Democrats will continue to hold the Bush Administration accountable by having votes in July to change course in Iraq; to responsibly redeploy our troops; and to refocus our effort on protecting Americans from terrorism."

But Sheehan said Tuesday that's not enough.

"You can't bring the troops home if you give George Bush $100 billion to wage this war," she said. "You're not supporting them. You're keeping them in harm's way."

Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh had this reaction to Sheehan's plans:

RUSH: Look at this: Cindy Sheehan is demanding Pelosi start impeachment proceedings against Bush. This is Cindy Sheehan, a phone interview on Fox News yesterday. It's just a portion of what she said.

SHEEHAN: I'm going to make a formal announcement on Tuesday that Nancy Pelosi doesn't put impeachment on the table, doesn't support the impeachment resolution that's already on the table against Dick Cheney and then introduce articles of impeachment against President Bush, then I will run against her for her seat in San Francisco.

RUSH: Now, you can laugh about this, but what it means is that the Democrat base is livid, because they wanted the troops out. They wanted Iraq over. They wanted Bush summarily defeated on this whole thing -- and you know, the Democrats have not come through on that and that's what those kooks in their base thought that the election results in November meant! So what's happening? The Democrats would be doing this anyway because they signaled it.

Three investigations they've launched in 100 days! This is harassment; it is paralysis, but it's also an attempt to keep their base in line, keep their base happy because it's the closest they can get to cementing Bush hatred, Bush Derangement Syndrome while failing in their primary mission to get the troops out of Iraq.

Do you really think Sheehan wouldn't win in Baghdad- By- The- Bay? Pelosi must be shaking in her boots. San Francisco Democrat Party politics are machine- based, so Cindy's election would be historic.

In the meantime, Sheehan would move back into the media spotlight, of which she obviously can't get enough.
