Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan on the ballot

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan qualified Friday for a November showdown with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, collecting the signatures needed to get on the ballot as an independent candidate for Congress.

"We're very excited," said Sheehan, 51, the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq who is well-known for her protest outside President Bush's Texas ranch. "Now we have to get organized and regroup."

Republican Dana Walsh and Libertarian Philip Berg will join Pelosi and Sheehan on the Nov. 4 ballot.

I wish Ms. Sheehan the best in her admittedly uphill fight to oust Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi from office in November. While Ms. Pelosi has deeper pockets, she will be challenged vigorously on her record over the last two years, given that the Democrats were swept into power with the mandate that our country pull out of Iraq. DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?
