Welcome to the independent movement, Cindy Sheehan!
Cindy Sheehan announced on Sunday that she will run as an independent against Dem Speaker Nancy Pelosi if Pelosi doesn't move for impeachment against President Bush. (Washington Post) And if she decides to run, I think Cindy will find plenty of support among independents, grassroots Dems and probably Repubs as well. My advice to her is to run as an independent whether or not Pelosi files for impeachment. Welcome to the independent movement!

Impeach Bush. Impeach Bush now!
"... run as an independent whether or not Pelosi files for impeachment"?
I don't know about that. (No, really, I don't know.) To commit to an independent run is to have no negotiating position. Just as we are not building a national 3rd party at this time, an independent run locally faces some of the same issues. What if Pelosi supports impeachment? (which I consider unlikely.) Wouldn't that be a feather in the independent movement's cap? Couldn't we accomplish more off that than sinking Sheehan into a local run?
