From the San Francisco Weekly:
Sheehan Expected to Make Ballot
Fri Aug 01, 2008
By John Geluardi
It looks as though Independent Congressional candidate Cindy Sheehan has collected enough signatures to challenge House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on November’s ballot.
Sheehan submitted 13,300 signatures to the California Department of Elections, which is about 30 percent more than the 10,198 required to qualify for the ballot and certification will just be a formality, according to campaign workers.
“We found that a lot of people are upset about Nancy Pelosi funding the war,” says Sheehan who collected many of the signatures herself. “People also want to see more Democracy, more choice and more debate.” …
“Now that we have the signatures, we can start the campaign in earnest,” Sheehan says.
“And it’s pretty safe to assume the first thing I’m going to do once we received certification is challenge Nancy Pelosi to a debate.”
Given that the source for this is a hard left giveaway sheet, this might be wishful thinking on the part of the author.
But here’s hoping she makes it.
For our own selfish reasons, of course.

The Snag vs the Hag! I cannot wait for the wire services to start their love affair with whichever they deign more “newsworthy”….and you gotta know it’s gonna be the Snag!!! I am awaiting with glee that re emergence of one of the best foils for humor that has ever waddled the earth!!

IMO The Snag is actually smarter than San Fran Nan. Of course that aint saying a whole lot.

Well, sheeman is a direct product of the far left/demo’s ideology and it is fitting to watch her come back and turn on her creators. Sanfrannan is about to get a taste of what Bush has gone through for the past 7 years. Hopefully that (*&(*&)_ oliver stone will make a movie about this..

Which one would provide better leadership? It would be close.

Oh, yes, please! This is the debate America has been waiting for. Amy whatsername from Democracy Now! and Markos Moulit’s-Ass will be the moderators and it will be a smash hit. What a howler.

I wonder exactly what it was that got Sheehan her signatures - I know that area is a rampant anti-military cess pool but - like that is so over, it should not even be a worthy issue - I wonder if some got really po’d over Ms Shrieker of the House’s stone-walling the Energy bill?
Either way - it will be an interesting race - Dumb and Dumber. So fitting for San Francisco right now.

I mentioned in a blog two years ago that I was hoping for this. It makes for bad politics, but great comedy. Sheehan’s entire platform is “impeach Bush.”
Okay, except that, you frickin’ idiot, he will no longer be the president even if you win.
The people in ‘Frisco are just stupid enough to go for this.
Who else thinks Cindy would make a better Speaker of the House than the Sanny Franny Nanny? Well, I mean, there are cinderblocks holding up cars in South Carolina dumps that would make a better Speaker of the House, notwithstanding that they get pissed on by the local dogs.
Angry D.

Oregon has 3 nobodies running for Congress as “The Impeach Team.”
Maybe they could brainwheeze with Sheehan and figure out how to impeach Bush after he is out of office.
I certainly hope any debate between these two …. uh, err, ladies will be televised.
I always need a good laugh.

Pelosi has earned the headache.
But it is just a tiny bit of karmic justice for the folly of Pelosi.
Nancy’s unethical incompetence is deserving of so much more…

AngryD - you are making the same mistake that Sheehan is - she would not step into Shrieker of the House position - that is voted on by the House and it (traditionally) has been someone senior - Ms Pelosi has proven that it should also require brains.
I do not understand at all (other than it is just another symptom of rampant BDS) what is with this Impeachment stuff so late in the game - I know (or at least the vaulted and truthtelling msm tells me) that enough of the Dems and American voters are so anti-Bush that if he had indeed done a single crime he’d been impeached in about 2 nanoseconds. And Kucinich et al just might want to be very, very careful with that lie stuff - because when the truth comes back - it can bite the hand that feeds it - plus who in the DC beltway doesn’t lie? [If you get right down to it]
We have to come up with a new word - as debate, discussion, or even conversation will never, ever fit what will happen when these two ‘meet’ during the campaign.
Ms Sheehan will have an Obamanation type ‘card’ - imagine Pelosi going after her grieving mother status - Ouch!
