Understatement of the Century

"Cindy Sheehan's long-rumored challenge to Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein was a long-shot bid for the seat."

No shit! I'm not a big fan of Diane Feinstein (I think she's weak!) or the war in Iraq (I think it could have been done a lot better, you know, with less lying and stuff!). But if Sheehan ever thought she had any chance of being anything more than a pain in the ass of journalists who would have to type two names next to "Democratic candidates include", than she should be committed.

Diane Feinstein is a 14-year incumbent. She's survived three statewide elections -- and run in four. She's sitting on millions and millions in campaign contribution on top of being one of the 5 wealthiest members of Congress. Oh, and she actually understands legislating.

The upper house of Congress is not a place for political novices. There is too much to be done there and too few people getting in your way when you are gonna do something stupid. You can not be a single-issue Senator. It's bad for the Senate and it'd be bad for California.

Cindy... take a vacation. You've earned it. And your movement needs it.
