| 3. It's probably for the best |
|
Cindy would likely accomplish more by continuing her fight in her son's name.

She has more impact being out in the streets and showing up wherever * is!! She wouldn't be able to do that is she were in Washington.

| 6. I am VERY disappointed. I was so looking to volunteering for her |
|
Now I'll just stay home and let the Democratic war-monger (Feinstein) duke it out with the Rupuke war-monger.

I think she could have won. I remember a woman, whos son was killed in a long island railroad shooting in the 90s, ran for congress against an established politician and won.
Handily at that. It most certainly can be done.

| 8. I'm actually relieved by this |
|
If Cindy had run as a Democrat, it would have compromised her "anti-war" voice as just a partisan gimmic.
If she had run as an Independent or Green, she would have split the vote and helped the Republican candidate.
Cindy made the right choice.

I was looking forward to a Sheehan/Feinstein face-off. But maybe it is for the best, after all.
It would have been a lot harder to throw Senator Sheehan out of the next SOTU... :evilgrin:
