Cindy Sheehan, a/k/a the "peace mom," probably never intended to sound like a candidate, but she did.

Daniel Ortega will be there too!
More evidence coupled with the DemonRat Senators actions today that they are disintegrating.
Then can their buddy Jimmy Carter be far behind?
Do you really think her own son would vote for her?If Casey returned from the other side, the first thing he'd do (I reckon) is slap is momma up side the head.
I blogged about how Cindy didn't really meet with soldiers at Walter Reed.
