Sheehan Won’t Run

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in General Politics

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Cindy Sheehan, the anti-Iraq war activist whose son was killed in the conflict there, put an end to speculation on Thursday that she would launch a long-shot bid to become a U.S. senator from California.

Sheehan, speaking in front of San Francisco City Hall, said she would not run for the office.

“If I thought that running for Senate would bring our young people home more quickly I would do it in a minute, but I am not convinced that that would do so,” Sheehan said.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

No, I’m not thanking Cindy.

I’m thanking reality.

Every once in a while, a ray of reality breaks through. Sad how breath-taking that is.
