Cindy is a citizen while Nancy is a professional.
Let me wish Cindy get elected and the professional get retired.


"It is worth noting that this is petition-gathering season for independent candidates running in California. Sheehan, the mother of a slain Iraq War soldier who turned her grief into activism, and her supporters are busy collecting the 10,198 signatures that will be needed to get her name on the ballot.

Sheehan ?- echoing the sentiments of the millions of Americans who believe that it if it is wrong for a Republican administration to abuse the Constitution then it is just as wrong for Democratic leaders to refuse to defend the document's principles ?- has made presidential accountability a central issue of her independent campaign in a city that has already overwhelmingly endorsed an impeachment initiative.

Indeed, Sheehan announced that she would challenge the speaker after it became clear ?- after President Bush commuted White House aide Scooter Libby's prison sentence last summer ?- that Pelosi was blocking consideration of impeachment by the House.

Something connected with the contradictory views of the candidates.
Here is one which had arrested my attention.

"Paul Newell Slams One of New York's Most Powerful Democrats, Sheldon Silver, on Fare Hike Hypocrisy

Newell, a community organizer, pointed out that Sheldon Silver had taken thousands of dollars from Parking and Automobile lobbyists as he prepared to kill Congestion Pricing behind closed doors in Albany. Less than 3% of 64th Assembly District residents drive to work, while the vast majority uses public transportation. Mr. Silver - who receives a taxpayer funded stipend to commute to his job - is an exception. The vast majority of traffic in the highly congested district comes from cars driven by people from outside New York City. Congestion Pricing was not the first time Silver has sided with the interests of suburbanites over his constituents. In 1999 Silver played an integral role in the repeal of the Commuter Tax - a levy not paid by a single Lower Manhattan resident. The loss of that tax has passed billions of dollars of costs onto New York City taxpayers.
