Sheehan Scraps Campaign Plans

Well crazy liberals are going to be upset, but Sheehan has decided not to run for Congress.

Cindy threatened a Senate run against Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California's most popular Democrat, whom Sheehan has accused of not doing enough to stop the war in Iraq. Yeah, I'm pretty sure sheehan wouldn't win. I'm guessing she'd get around 1% of the vote from the crazies in california.

Sheehan said her decision to run would be based on whether she believed more lives would be saved in Iraq with her in office or out of office. She said she also will weigh the decision with her family.

In other sheehan news, she does plan to file suit next week against the federal government for what she said was a false arrest at the Jan. 31 presidential address to Congress.

I think overall the moderate and reasonable left is embarrased by Sheehan. I'm guessing they're happy she's not running for office, knowing the embarrasment she would get.

This is also interesting to note:
Bruce Cain, who is director of the University of California-Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies, said Sheehan and other vocal activists can do a lot to shape lawmakers' agendas.

For instance, Sheehan told the Associated Press that if Feinstein voted to end debate over Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, thereby helping prevent a filibuster, she would definitely run against Feinstein. Feinstein, who just a week earlier said she didn't think a filibuster was the best option, promptly turned around and supported the failed filibuster attempt.

Clearly an example of liberal congress(wo)men listening to the far left.
