Cindy Sheehan Announces Plan To Run Against Pelosi

(CBS 5 / AP) CRAWFORD, Texas Six weeks after announcing her departure from the peace movement, Cindy Sheehan said Sunday that she plans to run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi 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.”

Messages left with Pelosi’s staff were not immediately returned.

anyone who remembers my last sig.. knows why would I love to vote against Nancy Pelosi.

Still on p.1. ;)

EDIT: Fail...there's another thread about the same thing with a much clearer title ON THE FIRST PAGE.

well this is interesting a candidate whose platform is to impeach Bush.that is just a bonus,

I dont want a spineless Democratic leadership,
a leadership that easily caves to Bush like they did.. it was shameful.

Oh I bet Nancy is loosing sleep over that.

Cindy better make a deal with the devil if she wants to win. She hasn't a hope in hell on her own.

She hasn't a hope in hell on her own.thats what people like you said about Ned Lamont.. when he declared that he was going to run against three-term incumbent Senator Joe Lieberman @ the The 2006 Senate Democratic Primary.

EDIT: Fail...there's another thread about the same thing with a much clearer title ON THE FIRST PAGE.damn..

People like you? Snoore.

Ned Lamont had money and connections. Cindy does not. Nancy knows to take care of her constituents. Liberman went against them.

Cindy's still desperate enough to say anything in order to keep in the media spotlight I see.
What is with these people? Do they wither up and die if not exposed to the media regaularly?

People like you? Snoore.

Ned Lamont had money and connections. Cindy does not. Nancy knows to take care of her constituents. Liberman went against them.What do you mean "Pelosi knows how to take care of her constituents" ??
