Your right what you said about that, but therein lies a major problem with Sheehan. There is now, and has been for many thousands of years, a lot more to politics than popular support: you named three such things above. If Sheehan can't get support from these power structures, she will be a complete lame duck even if she wins, with corporate media bashing her around the clock, undercut by other bought and sold politicians. The sad truth is that the current Democratic leadership has the right idea with slow moderate change, because they can actually DO it without losing power. There will be no grass roots candidate with power until we the grass roots take it, monetarily or otherwise.
