I saw Cindy Sheehan sitting in the Los Angeles airport yesterday. Nobody noticed her, she looks like a frump.
I couldn't help walking over to her: "Mrs. Sheehan, I am going to vote for you in the February primary. Stick with it." She looked up from her computer: "Thank you....far out."
Cindy will be in the Democratic congressional primary against Nancy Pelosi. I will have to register as a Dem to vote on the Dem ticket.
Nobody on the Left wins with Cindy in the race. Too few votes for Cindy in San Francisco the most anti-war city in the country means the anti-war movement is trivial (it actually is.) If Cindy gets surprisingly high numbers, the anti-war movement becomes a threat to Nancy Pelosi and forces the Democrats to move Leftward to the absolutely losing position of defeat in Iraq. That will be the Democrats second politically inspired military defeat (Viet Nam was their first).
