Decision 2008: Sheehan runs and Ames Straw Poll

The former face of the anti-war movement and President Bush's harshest challenger of the Iraq War, Cindy Sheehan, has jumped in the race for California's U.S. House District #8 which is the district currently represented by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Sheehan states her campaign is to say to the democratsto be more forceful with ending the U.S. involvement in Iraq. She hopes to impeach both Bush and Vice President Cheney once in office but the Bush administration will have only 17 days left if she is elected and sworn in. She hopes others will use her campaign to begn proceedings. She moved to this by stating is Speaker Pelosi didn't begin impeaching President Bush she would challenge her in 2008. She fully expects to defeat Pelosi even though Pelosi is always re-elected by 60 point margins. We expect her to run a good campaign but Pelost should easily win another term. Today is the eve of the Ames Straw poll and a Universirty of Iowa Poll shows: Romney 27% Rudy Giuliani 11% Fred Thompson 7% and the rest failing to get more than 4%. We may possible see the candidate field narrow by 2 tomorrow. Former Wisconsin Governor and HHS Secretary Tommt Thompson says if he doesn't win or get 2nd place tomorrow he will withdraw. Former Arkansas Govenor Mike Huckabee said if he doesn't get at least 3rd and according to these polls isn't likely he will drop out. I predict Mitt Romney to easily win the straw poll and the rest to rail far behind. If someone can upset Romney they will instantly surge to 1st tier status, but a comet hitting NYC has a better chance of happening.
