Cindy Sheehan May Challenge Calif. Senator
By IAN JAMES, Associated Press WriterSun Jan 29, 1:05 AM ET
Cindy Sheehan, the peace activist who set up camp near President Bush's Texas ranch last summer, said Saturday she is considering running against Sen. Dianne Feinstein (news, bio, voting record) to protest what she called the California lawmaker's support for the war in Iraq.
"She voted for the war. She continues to vote for the funding. She won't call for an immediate withdrawal of the troops," Sheehan told The Associated Press in an interview while attending the World Social Forum in Venezuela along with thousands of other anti-war and anti-globalization activists.
"I think our senator needs to be held accountable for her support of George Bush and his war policies," said Sheehan, whose 24-year-old soldier son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004.
Feinstein's campaign manager, Kam Kuwata, said the senator "doesn't support George Bush and his war policies."

One only hopes that Cindy actually tries to run for a Senate seat...
It'll be kind of fun watching the press and Feinstein's fellow Democrats descend on her and destroy her. Cindy's not gonna know what hit her, especially now that she's no longer useful to the Democratic party (if in fact she ever was).
Reminds me of a couple of years ago when Sarah Jessica Parker was talking about running for the Senate...sure, Jessica, I'm sure that DiFi and Boxer would both gladly give up their Senate seats for a famous celebrity such as yourself!
Go right ahead Cindy, just try to take the seat of a powerful Democrat Senator (if there IS such a thing), see how long you live...and prepare for the second worst experience of your life (albeit a distant second).
Let's hope Cindy follows through on her idea to run.
Of course, it would be even funnier if she actually won...
