During the Bush reign of terror, antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan enjoyed widespread support among Progressives and was universally regarded as a rising star in the Democrat Party.

Then she began to question the Party leadership.

In May 2007, Cindy Sheehan officially left the Party and speculated publicly about challenging Dianne Feinstein for her seat in the United States Senate.

In July 2007, Sheehan announced that she would run against U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Sheehan lost. In a seven-way race, Sheehan only got 46,118 votes (16.14%) to Pelosi's 204,996 (71.76%).

Now where is she?

Blue Dogs need to consider Sheehan's fate before they oppose our leaders on important issues like health care reform.
 
They will go along with the Majority Whip or risk losing their seat.
 
They'll be replaced with Progressive Democrats loyal to their President and Party.

Haha! This troll is claiming Sheehan ran to the right of Pelosi??? Now that IS funny. Pelosi's my rep so Sheehan ran in my district and she did not run to the right of Pelosi. Too funny.
 
LMAO!!! When the hell was Sheehan ever regarded as a 'rising star' within the Party? Democrats loved her for her protesting against Bush and the coverage it brought but she was never a future party star. Damn troll, learn about your party.
