I don't know whether to laugh or vomit on my shoes (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060128/ap_on_el_se/sheehan_senate). Does anybody think that she would be a good senator? Does anybody even think she has a snowballs chance in hell of being elected, muc less getting more than 10% of the vote?

And just incase she does get elected, let it be known that I will go to California and start beating hippies with a baseball bat (or a rubber chicken, whatever I pick up first).

If Santorum can be a senator, then Cindy can be one, too.

Not to compare Cindy to the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.

At least she's not a part of this constantly rotating policy elite that rules America right now.
I'm all for normal people trying to get into politics for a change.

Just so you know, that was so fucking disgusting that I'm now back to hoping gays can't ever get married. *goes and pukes in the corner*

Unfortunately they never remain "normal" for long.

I wouldnt vote for her unless the opposition was really horrible.

Straight people get santorum (http://www.spreadingsantorum.com/), too, fyi. It's rare and easy to manage, not to mention easy to prevent, but it happens.

Lol nice

Yay for publicity whores! Yay for a country of idiots that pays attention to them!
And three cheers for the triumph of democracy, where the Universe plays to the tune of the LCD!
*Throws a party*

She will never get elected - she isn't a horribly corrupt member of the upper class versed in the languages of slander and libel.

You got that right. She's a member of the lowest class of scum on the planet.

Cindy Sheehan

"My son died for a war he volunteered in. Make me mistress of the universe"

What a fucking bitch. If my mom ever pulled this stunt in case I died in some horrible accident, I would be hautning her everyday.

No wonder the rest of the family is cutting ties with this lunatic.

You got that right. She's a member of the lowest class of scum on the planet.

I guess you should know...

I say more power to her and I hope she wins. She can follow in the footsteps of Ted Kennedy sporting the trademark permanent big red shiney nose that only truely dedicated lifetime alcholics can display in all it's glory. She's easily on par with her fellow state elitiests Boxer, Pelosi, Walters, and Lee on Mao's List of Batshit Crazy Useful Idiots. It will be a great day for America when she's elected and contributes her experience and expertise to continued success of the Democratic Party!

Three wahs for Cindy!

I guess you should know...
Ouch! If you could, in any way, influence me, my country, my friends, or my beliefs, I'd be offended. But you're just some gay guy from sweden with a chip on his shoulder, so I take no offense. ;)

Ok who woke the troll?

So what if she runs? So what if she wins?

Don't forget we once had Gopher serving in the goverment.

You know calling her a publicity whore is basically admiting she is a politician.....

Yeah, you're right. I prefer to just call her a dumb bitch. :p

I don't think she stands a chance against Feinstein, who has been in office for a while and is popular in her own district. Simply put, Sheehan isn't that popular with many people in the US, except maybe in heavily Democratic areas, and even there she isn't overwhelming.

So? Calling Paris Hilton a slut is basically admitting she is a whore, but I wouldn't let that skank near my brothel.

If you used your pimp hand then would you consider it?

Aw hell naw. Aw HELL naw.

I crossed my fingers hoping that she wouldn't try to be a senator from this state before I realized that she was from here.

Now we're going to get all the negative attention from the country. Wonderful.

If you used your pimp hand then would you consider it?
My Pimp Hand is only capable of so much, for I am a mere mortal. A being such as the Hilton Creature might even be too much for
Pimp Jesus (http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a36/Fiddlebottoms/PJ05.jpg), may his name be forever praised.

With California's present state, I wouldn't be too suprised if she won. She's a left-wing media goddess. I can see the campaign ad: "Arnold Won. Why not a woman? PAID FOR BY THE DUBYA SUCKS ORGANIZATION OF CALIFORNIA"

Aw hell naw. Aw HELL naw.

Giggling.

California, the land of fruits and nuts as my mommy always says.

I don't give a shit who gets elected as a senator.
American politics is full of shit anyway, what difference will one more piece of shit make!

I think this is a real pity. Shehan has no chance of winning and she'll take away Feinstein's chance of victory too and that means we'll get stuck with another far-right looser in the Bribery Capital of the US.

That and Shehan makes people who oppose the war look bad. :mad:

Sheehan is basing her campaign on the fact that Fienstien voted for the war in Iraq (logical, based on the given evidence at the time), voted to increase funding for troops (why shouldn't she, seeing as her vote helped send them there in the first place?), and upon a vote to immediately withdraw troops, voted against their immediate removal (a ridiculous idea supported by only 3 members of the house and senate.

Now, Cindy Sheehan has successfully shown the human tragedies incurred by war and a number of people see her as a Mr. Smith goes to Washington type hero, a normal, good citizen fighting for our rights against the country's greedy elite. However, Sheehan's willingness to try shouldn't put you all onto her bandwagon. She's grossly underqualified to be a Senator and doesn't even posess a basic understanding of politics. So, although I admire her obvious wish to do what she believes to be the right thing for America, Sheehan just isn't qualified to be a Senator.

I don't know whether to laugh or vomit on my shoes (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060128/ap_on_el_se/sheehan_senate). Does anybody think that she would be a good senator? Does anybody even think she has a snowballs chance in hell of being elected, muc less getting more than 10% of the vote?

And just incase she does get elected, let it be known that I will go to California and start beating hippies with a baseball bat (or a rubber chicken, whatever I pick up first).

Doesn't matter as there isn't any difference between Sheehan and Feinstein anyway.:D

Its highly unlady like for a girl to swear.
Did it just get 1950 in here?





Anyway, Sheehan doesn't stand much of a chance against Fienstien. But it is great to watch the far righties get thier tightie whities in a bunch over this. For someone they dismiss as an attention whore, they sure are willing to fill that void for her. Nice job, fellas.

I don't think she stands a chance against Feinstein...wanna bet?

In the unlikely event that Sheehan becomes President of the United States, I'm going to build myself a bunker. I mean, she's as popular with nutjobs as Hitler. She'd be Grant 2.0. "Good"(quote marks for Sheehan only) intentions, but horrible political leadership filled with corruption and scandal after scandal after scandal. She's an attention whore who used her son's death as a convenient tool to elevate her popularity among the far, far left. She's basicly something for the clear thinking to ignore. That means she's ready for Congress aka clown capital of the world.

wanna bet?

Yeah, if only because Feinstein is an incumbent.

The real question here is: how would you be able to tell if the dishonorable Ms. Sheehan replaced Senator Feinstein? :eek:

I'm firmly convinced that the woman isn't playing with a full deck; her elevator doesn't go all the way up; she's two sandwitches shy of a picnic.

Sheehan has a severe case of foot-in-mouth disease. One that makes Bush look like Lincoln.

Just based off the kinds of things she's said, she's even too crazy for California - which is kind of frightening in and of itself.

I dont know much about politics but I will agree there.

She is missing a screw or two; a slice short of a pie, a (insert generic similie for crazy).

That brings up an interesting gramatical question. Does one need to turn a into an if it is before a vowel in parenthesis?

The lights are on, but nobody's home. The stairs don't reach all the way to the attic. She's a few fries short of a Happy Meal. There are a few dim bulbs in her chandelier. :)

Yes (both about Shehan and the case of an before parenthsis).

Sensible, thanks for clearing that up. If that situation has ever occured before, I mustve not been pondering about it until now.

She's like a shiny sparkling lure that the righties can't help but get hooked on. Dance, fishies, dance...
The real question here is: how would you be able to tell if the dishonorable Ms. Sheehan replaced Senator Feinstein?
Well, since the basis of her challenge is that Feinstein voted for the war and has voted for the continued support, my guess would be that we'd notice a sharp change in voting habits regarding the war. Just what I gathered from paying attention instead of standing on the chair and screaming like a mouse just entered the room at the mere mention of her name.

But then she's far more a bogey(wo)man of the right than she is any sort of darling of the left. The only joy the left gets out of her is how hot and bothered she makes you all.

When in doubt read it aloud and decide which sounds better. Odds are it sounds that way to other readers too. Most of the time your mind does that without it getting referred to your skull.

Writing in english is like the crawling centipede who was asked "How do you walk?" As long as you don't stop to think about it, you're fine.

Not being able to speak for "the right," I have to say that the reason she irritates me is because of her betrayal of her own son. :mad:

If Santorum can be a senator, then Cindy can be one, too.

The difference between Santorum and Sheehan is that Santorum knows the difference between a progressive and regressive tax.

You don't see him running around to reinvent himself weekly as new poll numbers come in. I've always had respect for the man for that reason.

Considering our position in the world economy, maybe people should get over themselves and start taking some pages from our book. At the very least they can unclench.

well it seems my views have already been made by other people before i had the chance, so in a nutshell,

Sheehan was maybe upset about her sons death for about a week then she saw all the attention she got, and she cant give it up now, so she comes up with a new way to protest just about everyweek, and the mindless hippies who apparently have no job except to picket outside a ranch follow her.

as for the people in california, i think the news has already made it clear that they are pretty much the mindless hippy capital of the usa

Nahh. PA is too lower middle income; can't compare with the Hollyweird crowd. :D

What? Hippies or Californians? And how can you tell the difference?? :eek:

While I agree with her protests, very few people are looking for single-issue politicians. What are her views on tariffs? Organized labor? Corporate welfare? Social security? Spying on US citizens? "No more Iraq" is admirable, but it's not enough to get elected.

What? Hippies or Californians? And how can you tell the difference?? :eek:
Paying attention, not using prejudice or sweeping generalizations about >35 million people that make up the bulk of the American economy.

Hippies drive Volkswagen busses.

Californians drive Hybrids. :)

To Cannot Think of A Name: Just funnin'. :p

Everyone forgets about our Yuppies. We have a ton of them.

But yeah, that's almost true, except there are a large portion of Californians driving SUVs. No one ever makes the connection that those are the guys we're complaining about SUVs-the Suburban in the well paved suburbia of California with just the driver in it and little else. The people who live in places with real winters and mud roads and whatnot, yeah-drive whatever will actually get you home.

But you can't actually find a used hybrid here, and used Prius' go for more than new ones because you can have them now.

And I'm pulling my VW Bus apart to convert it to propane. :D Can't be a hippie if it's not an altered VW Bus. (Trad/Cal/Hippie Mine's gonna walk the line between Trad and Hippie, no flowers or 'symbols.' She has too much self respect to put up with that nonsense. I'm sure if I tried it the body panel would just fall off the van).

Did you read the whole article?

"If I decided to run, I would have no illusions of winning, but it would bring attention to all the peace candidates in the country," she said.

She is just trying to make a point?

anything to stay in the spot light hey cindy?



i felt sorry for her when her kid died, but i cant stand her anymore.

Haven't been paying much attention to the way Santorum has been running away from the ID movement and from the K Street project, have you? Santorum is as bad as all the others.

As for Sheehan, I don't know what all you righties are getting so rabid over. No matter how loony you think California is, the fact is that Feinstein, who she'd be running against, is a moderate, and will win handily when she runs for re-election.

She's running against Feinstein. The excess CO on the bus tour must have addled Crazy Cindy's brain.

I'm sure she could pick up a state senate seat, though. She's from some little town near Berkely. There are enough liberal wackos out there to elect her.

Yeah, if only because Feinstein is an incumbent.so if it is Sheehan against someones else... The bet is off?

Sheehan is completely unelectable.I dont care what you think.
Is Sheehan a good candidate?

That is for the Voters to decide..

The voters alway have the last say, but it's fun to speculate. Sheehan is better known than Patty Murray from WA was when she ran in '92, but probably not as experienced. Murray did hold a state senate seat. If it were a real free-for-all in the US Senate Democratic primary, Crazy Cindy just might have a chance.

Personally, I think that would be a gift to the Republican party in the general election. Cindy has just got hate going for her and I don't think the voters of California hate Republicans to the degree that she does.

Lol to be honest probably because all the stupid shit (like people on this forum) people say because of their knee jerk reaction.

Be asses toward 12 percent of the population and they will elect her just to piss you off. Right or wrong all these stupid California jokes might have that reaction.

We'll stop generalizing Californianas the day you quit generalizing the right. :rolleyes:
Nice rolleyes. When can we expect you to not generalize the left?

More displays of the Right's Persecution Complex. Just like Orwell's insightful view on "War is Peace," they need an enemy, a bogeyman that they can draw the mass's attention to in order to gain and hold onto power by. When Hussein's in jail, Bin Ladin's not thought much of lately, there's Cindy Sheehan. I love how the Busheviks here call her nothing more than a publicity whore on one hand, but then have to focus on how she's betrayed the country and sold off our national security secrets to The Enemy, etc etc every time she gets mentioned in news.

Sheehan is completely unelectable.

That's what they said about Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter. :eek:

Sheehan has a severe case of foot-in-mouth disease. One that makes Bush look like Lincoln.

Just based off the kinds of things she's said, she's even too crazy for California - which is kind of frightening in and of itself.

Maybe she should run against Kennedy or Kerry in Massachusetts. Both of them are great at hoof-in-mouth disease. :D

Media whoredom, after all, is the primary requirement to be a politician.

Ms. Sheehan has no chance of unseating Ms. Feinstein.

But you conservatives can continue to masturbate.

Cindy exploits her son for political gain, and is a triator to the country. Who does she think she is going down to texas and messing with the President on his vacation. The reason he went down there was to get away from people like that.

I say that if Cindy decides to run.. she will win.. She will defeat whatever Republican runs against her.
Damn, I wish we could put some money on that. Or a drink.

California might have elected an unqualified candidate on an "I hate Gray Davis" platform, but picking Cindy over Feinstein on an "I hate GWB" platform is a little tough to expect. On the other hand, maybe you are more angry out there than I think.

1. We all know how much the Bushes hate exploiting family ties.

2. Look up the definition of treason.

3. Why should the President be allowed long vacations during a war?

Nah--OD3 is way overestimating Sheehan on this one. It takes tens of millions of dollars to run in CA, and Feinstein is buddy buddy with the money folks in that state. That'll be the closest thing to a walkover in any race in 2006, I'm willing to bet. Feinstein will poll at least 60%.

1. Good point, The Bushes are a proud American family.

2. I did ,there was a pic. of Cindy

3. Because he works hard protecting the country and needs relaxation

God, why does everyone call me a troll, and what does that even mean anyway? Ive seen get thrown around on here but Im sure what it actually means.

God, why does everyone call me a troll, and what does that even mean anyway? Ive seen get thrown around on here but Im sure what it actually means.
Around here it generally means a person who has little or not grasp of reality and who doesn't even make an attempt at reasonable discourse--in other words, you. There are plenty of people around here who disagree, often vehemently, on matters of discussion, but we at least make the attempt to have a reasonable discussion. Your reply to the Cat-Tribe was trollish, capisce?

I don't know whether to laugh or vomit on my shoes (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060128/ap_on_el_se/sheehan_senate). Does anybody think that she would be a good senator? Does anybody even think she has a snowballs chance in hell of being elected, muc less getting more than 10% of the vote?

And just incase she does get elected, let it be known that I will go to California and start beating hippies with a baseball bat (or a rubber chicken, whatever I pick up first).

I'm a Californian and I don't know a single hippie who would vote for her. Nor anyone else for that matter.

I do know that if you feel like beating up random people in my state, well many of us are armed, and you may need more than a baseball bat. ;)

Haven't been paying much attention to the way Santorum has been running away from the ID movement and from the K Street project, have you? Santorum is as bad as all the others.

As for Sheehan, I don't know what all you righties are getting so rabid over. No matter how loony you think California is, the fact is that Feinstein, who she'd be running against, is a moderate, and will win handily when she runs for re-election.

I don't recall Santorum ever making the ID movement into one of his core campaign planks. And the "K Street Project" is just a name for something that every elected official does but no one outside the beltway ever cared about until Abramoff. K Street is chock full of former hill staffers - its where they go to cash in after the spend a few years making slave wages on Capitol Hill.

Feinstein is hardly a moderate - although, I suppose when you compare her to Cindy Sheehan she is. No moderate Democrat could ever get elected in California. And by moderate Democrat, I mean a true moderate like Ben Nelson is or John Breaux was.

I dont care what you think.
Is Sheehan a good candidate?

That is for the Voters to decide..

No candidate worth their salt could lose to Cindy Sheehan. Once you break through the hype, there is nothing there. She wouldn't run for a lower office because she can't stop the war as a state senator in California. The war is the only subject that she has any claim to expertise in, and even there its thin.

Voters don't decide who a good candidate is. They decide who they want to represent them. The best candidate doesn't always win.

1. We all know how much the Bushes hate exploiting family ties.

You play the hand you're dealt.

2. Look up the definition of treason.

Agreed.

3. Why should the President be allowed long vacations during a war?
The President is never on vacation. Even when he's at Crawford, he's working. It's a 24/7/365 job for four years. The vacation jibe is a ridiculous bit of muckraking.

Damn, I wish we could put some money on that. Or a drink. Lets bet our Sigs..

If you lose... You have to Put your sig up with a "NS Forum Quote" of my choosing .. for 1 month.

I doubt that she'll ever be good for anything other than living off the memory of her son. Nor do I think even California or New York would be stupid enough to vote her into office.....

But I hope she runs anyway because I'd really like to see the Left continue to destroy itself and I don't think they could select a better way to destroy their liberal base in California than to nominate someone like her. :)

It's out there. I'll take that bet.Good..
BTW... I hope more people does take the bet..

Here are the Terms..

#1 This Bet is triggered the Minute Cindy officially signs her name as a Candidate.. for any elected political position
#2 The loser of the Bet will Put up whatever Sig the Winner Chooses (as long as it is an NS Forum Quote)

I prefer betting drinks. The payoff is usually more enjoyable. I don't attach much importance to a .sig, but I'll play. My bet is only over the US Senate seat mentioned in the original post.


Tell me what you mean by a NS Forum Quote. Do I need to go back and find something in a previous post that would be an appropriate payoff for losing the bet? I think you might have a pretty large .sig file after we all win. If we even remember in another 8 months.

I think we should include one more condition. If she officially declares that she is running for US Senate and the outcome in the November elections is a victory for her, you win. If there is any other outcome, e.g. she loses a primary, she loses the general election, she withdraws, she goes on another bus tour and is forgotten, etc, then we win.

God, why does everyone call me a troll, and what does that even mean anyway? Ive seen get thrown around on here but Im sure what it actually means.
It means your views are usually silly enough that people generally think you just say them to get a rise out of people . Its either the way you say it or what you say (personally in your case I think both) Either how or what you espouse is so silly people think no sane person could hold those views and say them with a strait face.

I hope she runs. She has my support.

Of course, I do not believe that slaughtering Iraqi children so that Bush and his cabal of gangsters and murderers can profit is a positive good, and I also do not believe that grieving mothers should be demonized for defying a mass murderer, the terrorists in his administration, and the incompetent collaborators who let the criminal in office get away with it.

Nope but I may be hinting at you being disingenuous but whatever to each their own I personally don't care one way or another :)

Talk about extreme rhetoric.

If there is any other outcome, e.g. she loses a primary, she loses the general election...I Bet she will win on her first try.

And the Bet is for whatever she runs for.. Governor.. Senator Congresman...

Whatever elected political seat she chooses to run for...She will rollover whoever decides to run against her.

Take it or leave it. Betting table is open.

Talk about extreme rhetoric.

In a country where the invented political "center" is the point of view that mass murder in pursuit of imperial objectives is fine as long as it is done competently, I proudly claim the label of "extremist."

I prefer betting drinks.sure... if you find a way to deliver a Bottle of genuine Tequila.. I will take that as payment instead of your Sig..

Tell me what you mean by a NS Forum Quote.anything Quotable posted in this Forum .. I own your sig for a month.. and I will share ownership with other peoples voting for Cindy..

Lets say me and 2 others Win..

We pwn your ass for a month.. we can take turns or... gang-bang:fluffle: your sig simultaneously.. its up to us really. :D

Left. As I said, she could easily win a local office in the Berkeley area. Probably could win a state senate or state rep seat, as well. She won't unseat any incumbent U.S. Senator from California.

I doubt that she'll ever be good for anything other than living off the memory of her son. Nor do I think even California or New York would be stupid enough to vote her into office.....

But I hope she runs anyway because I'd really like to see the Left continue to destroy itself and I don't think they could select a better way to destroy their liberal base in California than to nominate someone like her. :)

Funny, because the "Left" in America is hardly Leftist. It's actually right of Center. Now, there's a minority of actual Leftists in America, but you're not going to find many in the mainstream parties.

And about Cindy Sheehan: I hope she loses. Idiots such as herself don't deserve an ounce of power (not that anybody on the planet does, but that's for another topic). Nuclear war in Iraq. Funny. Eh, airheads...

Then I'll pray for you and hope you lay down your hatred as hatred clouds judgement.

I do not "hate" Bush or the people in his administration, nor Diane Feinstein, and certainly not Cindy Sheehan. Hatred does indeed cloud judgement, and so I try not to hate political figures.

I will admit to being occasionally reluctant to mince words.

The fact that this woman discredits her son and his sacrifice in such a way makes me physically ill. He chose his career. He probably wouldn't have chosen it if the risk of dying wasn't in it. I know I wouldn't do this job if there wasn't. He did what thought was right and now this worthless piece of socialist pig crap:fluffle: is using her OWN SON'S DEATH to gain publicity and fame.:headbang:
Ugh, I'm going to go vomit now:mad:

Did you see her interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews? My god, I had to turn that off halfway through. What an airhead.

Sorry, I do not watch television "news," especially not the American version. I can feel myself growing progressively less intelligent whenever I try.

Can you explain why you had the reaction you did?

sure... if you find a way to deliver a Bottle of genuine Tequila.. I will take that as payment instead of your Sig..

Problem: How could we verify your age? ;)

I have bet bottles before.

But for the fun I will take this bet.

I live in California and I won't vote for her. I heard her on NPR and she did some crap with Michael Krazny(sp?). Probably one of the nicest people on air....

Cindy for Senator? This is a joke, right? I hope so, even if it isn't funny.

Now now don't forget others use the death. Remember the talk about the sacrifice of great american heros.

Politics has no honor in such matters.

Which one is the airhead?

This is one point I absolutely agree with you.

As a Soldier, if my family used my death in the mannor that this woman has, I would beg God to let me come back to beat the living crap out of them. I would not sacrifice my life for my mother's political aspirations or desire for fame. :headbang:
If someone wanted to show my sacrifice to honor it, and use it to support my brothers in arms, I would feel that my death was worth something.
There is a HUGE difference between honoring your fallen soldiers, and capitalizing on your own child's death to motivate a political agenda that the child most likely would have disagreed with.:mad:
Oh and here's some extra smileys for you fruitcakes who hate them :fluffle: :fluffle: :rolleyes:

Bah I bet your never actually had anything to do with the military much less serving it in. If you were I would despair at the quality (specially intellectually) of the individuals they allow in the military.

I have to admit, the very thought of Cindy Sheehan possibly running against Dianne Feinstein made me grin so widely that the top of my head nearly fell off. This could be really good. :D

Did you see her interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews? My god, I had to turn that off halfway through. What an airhead.
So true

Good move..

Whatever elected office she chooses to run for..

she will defeat whoever is running against her..
My original offer to bet over the US Senate race still stands.

Which one is the airhead?

Both, yes, but Sheehan was clearly dumber. It was horrible.

I don't know whether to laugh or vomit on my shoes (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060128/ap_on_el_se/sheehan_senate). Does anybody think that she would be a good senator? Does anybody even think she has a snowballs chance in hell of being elected, muc less getting more than 10% of the vote?

And just incase she does get elected, let it be known that I will go to California and start beating hippies with a baseball bat (or a rubber chicken, whatever I pick up first).
Well, if a complete inept moron who's out of touch with everything except his neocon base and the fat cats whos wallets he's lining with tax payer dollars can be elected as president, thne why the hell not?

Bah I bet your never actually had anything to do with the military much less serving it in. If you were I would despair at the quality (specially intellectually) of the individuals they allow in the military.
Why? About the way I feel about it - and I did 4 years active and 4.5 years reserve.

I don't care if she is against the war, but she shouldn't be using her son's body as a rallying flag. He volunteered, twice IIRC, so he obviously wasn't against it.

I'd come back to kick her ass too.

lol, no... maybe in a (or the) Bay Area (San Francisco/Oakland) house seat... she might get a sniff of a possible victory... but it'd have to be a highly anti-Bush, highly anti-war group, communist group of voters... so her support would pretty much probably only come from way left-wingers.

has a hippie ever held high office? if so, how long has it been since one did?

she absolutely has a right to grieve.

what made me dislike her immensely was her use of her son's death as a platform for her hippie ideals.

and i am not even sure anyone of them is a Repub... :D

My original offer to bet over the US Senate race still stands.and what is all your talk about Incumbent or non-incumbent clauses...

Sound to my like you think she will likely win..unless it is against a "seated" Senator.

12% of the population you just painted with one brush.

okay, 30% of 12%, or 3.6%

hehe

(figuring on numbers i pulled out of my ass: that about 60% of Californians are democrats and that about half of them are iron-clad commies/hippies.)

and what is all your talk about Incumbent or non-incumbent clauses...

Sound to my like you think she will likely win..unless it is against a "seated" Senator.
I don't think she has broad enough support in the state to win a statewide election. Where is she from Vallejo, Napa, somewhere around there, anyway. I'm not sure she could win in Napa, as I expect the farmers are pretty conservative types. Should she be close enough to Berkeley, I think she could easily become a state senator or state representative to the General Assembly, or state Legislature, or whatever you call it. She could also easily be elected to a city or county position, depending on how many other wackos she could represent.

Without any political foundation and only name recognition, she needs to find the right electorate. I just don't think there are enough angry liberals in the state to nominate her over Feinstein in a primary. Maybe I'm giving California a little too much credit, but I've spent quite a bit of time in the Bay area and I just haven't seen the kind of anger and hatred that she needs to be elected.

I want this Bet to work.. I don't wanna make Bets that might not realize..

I am going to make just one betting contract.. Free-For-All players

I am not about to make special clauses for you.
