I see nothing wrong with “bring our troops home” as a real solution to our Iraq problem. Sheehan would certainly be an improvement over Clinton.

IF it would save the country from a President Hillary Clinton, that would be enough from me. She WILL be the Democratic nominee in 08.

Sheehan should not pollute the LP with herself.

If that socialist becomes the LP Presidential Candidate, the LP is going to lose a lot of its members.

I would be one of them.

What a joke.

If Sheehan became a senator, she would actually have to come up with a REAL answer to the Iraq war, instead of just repeating the same old tired “bring our troops home” crap. The 60’s are over, time to move on…

And besides, I’m tired of my state being a dumping ground for all of these left wing socialist has beens. Go somewhere else!

I wonder what her position on the right to bear arms might be?

She will probably alienate most jews from the party and their are quite a few(Zionism is responsible for fill in your favorite pet peeve). She agress with the LP on one issue! Guns, taxes, trade, nothing.

Thanks to NY rules too, she could combine Green and Libertarian votes. Plus, it would draw attention to the Libertarian notion that Democrats supported the war, something they have had lots of trouble doing.

Shrewd move on John Clifton’s part.

That would have to be one of the premier LP races of 2006 – and it would be even better on a combined LP-Green ticket. It would undercut her chances quite a bit from the left and right combined who agree the Iraq War was a mistake.

This is that “triangulation” thang the big boyz talk about, you guys.

If she does accept the LP nod I think its safe to accept she’ll be looking for cross endorsements from other anti-war parties.

Excellent idea! I hope she runs as a Libertarian.

libertarians have come a long way since i went to a meeting back in 1997, i guess. back then, it was all about listening to a crazy man brag about his gun. the union of peaceniks with that guy sounds about like karl rove smooshing together mostly good-hearted jesus freaks with mostly stingy-as-fuck ayn rand worshippers.

That is a great combination. Cindy Sheehan was writing articles on LewRockwell.com (a libertarian website) before she became well known through the media. I hope she will run for the Libertarian nomination and I hope they will nominate her. I would support her for sure.
