Cindy Sheehan to Run For Congress?

Eh, I won’t hold my breath. But it could happen:

(APN) ATLANTA – Renowned antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan is considering a run for US Congress in 2008, Atlanta Progressive News has learned in the process of interviewing Sheehan about her upcoming rally in Washington, DC, this Mothers’ Day weekend. Sheehan became an activist in 2004 after her son, Casey, was killed during the US Invasion of Iraq.“I’m on the National Board for the Progressive Democrats of America and they’re really trying to talk me into running for a Congressional Seat in 2008. It’s almost getting to the time to make my mind up by now. I do have the name recognition. I still can’t make my mind up on whether it would hurt the movement,” Sheehan told APN in a phone interview.

Comrade Sheehan also pondered a run against fellow moonbat Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) in 2006 but decided against it. The fact is that should Mother Sheehan decided to run the chance of her getting utterly defeated and having an actual percentage to show how many people are really against her ravings would undermine her claims that she is an effective leader of a large movement.

If after election day her support was lower that President Bush’s approval ratings she would have a lot of explaining to do. No, she is happy to pretend to be popular.
