Cindy for Congress??
Why not? The woman is incredibly articulate, radiates sincerity, and has a name recognition that the average hack politician would kill for. What district does she live in? Could we "place" her somewhere effectively by 2006 or 2008?

When God gives you a Cindy, it's a sin not to help her fulfill her destiny.

1. It sounds reasonable
but talke about it now would lead the MSM to say that the whole Crawford movement was just to put her in Congress...

There will be time...

but not necessarily now.

2. I don't know which CD is Vacaville
My guess is that it's a good bay area Dem. But Dianne Feinstein is a useless slug and Cindy could do no worse

3. maybe her destiny is to do only what she is now...
Right now, she's being a catalyst for allowing peole who've wanted to come out against the war to have the courage to do so.

I personally find that a higher calling. Right now, she's shaming the existing representatives and inspiring new ones.

I dunno. I think maybe she is doing enough. I would hate to have her felt pressured to do more, but maybe that's just me.

4. I agree with you, Lerkfish.
Let Cindy be Cindy - - and may she inspire our dem officeholders to follow her lead on the war issue.

5. Why the hell would you want
her to be in congress with those morons. Leave her in peace. Let her do what she needs to do and wake up the the American public to the fact that we have been screwed.

6. I've been expecting someone to suggest this -- it was just a
matter of time. She's probably doing more by doing what she's doing--at least for now. Time will tell if it's a good idea for her to run for office down the road.

7. No. Absofrickinlutely not.
Don't force someone into a political position. If she wants to go into politics full time, fine. But don't go suggesting it.

8. Hers for the taking
She may not be interested in politics, but if she decides to run for Congress she most likely would win. The integrity level of the Congress would double the first day she reported for work.
