Cindy Sheehan has threatened to run for Congress against Nancy Pelosi if Pelosi does not promote impeachment of Bush (and Cheney too, please). San Francisco voted 58% (133,042 votes) to impeach Bush and Cheney, Prop J, in November 2006. This would be a fun race as shaking up the worthless Democratic Party machine is needed.

This was announced on KPFA, 94.1 news on 7/8/07 at 6 p.m. and in an AP story in the SF Chronicle at http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/n/a/2007/07/08/state/n133829D55.DTL

In the 2006 run for office, Pelosi, who represents 3/4 of San Francisco, EXCLUDING the Sunset district, received 80% of the vote, 148,435 votes, while the Republicans received 19,800 votes (10.71%) and the Green candidate Krissy Keefer received 13,653 vote (7.38%). Clearly, a lot of people did not vote on Proposition J, which was an advisory measure only. The largest vote for a Green Party candidate in SF was 19,052 votes or 8.52% of the vote for Todd Chretien for US Senate, and the largest Peace & Freedom Party vote was 5,436 votes or 2.35% of the vote for Elizabeth Barron for Controller. In a presidential election, which is November 2008, we can expect 360,000 voters citywide, with perhaps 270,000 voting in the 8th Congressional district of California currently represented by millionaire mouthpiece of the oil companies, Nancy Pelosi. This would be an interesting race and certainly a test to see how "progressive" San Francisco really is.
