Pelosi may be in for some serious competition in San Francisco. Imagine that!
It's not your everyday congressional race when the Republican candidate welcomes the support of Cindy Sheehan, the antiwar gadfly, and Matt Gonzalez, who was Ralph Nader's running mate in 2008. Yet that is exactly what is happening in San Francisco, where Republican John Dennis is challenging House Speaker Pelosi in what may be Pelosi's first-ever truly competitive race.
Cindy Sheehan? You've got to be kidding me.
Anyway, it's nice to see some hope, even if it's a tiny spark of hope, that Nancy could get thrown out on her butt in Novemeber.
Since August, Dennis has raised three times as much money as Pelosi, and the $2.1 million he's collected so far is in the ballpark with her total. Dennis cites internal polling from a few months ago showing that roughly 35 percent of independents and Democrats in the district are growing tired of Pelosi's leadership, and the Dennis campaign is conducting a new poll that they hope will show support growing.
It could definitely be a stretch but, one things for sure, Pelosi will be dethroned from her post as Speaker of the House. Thank heavens.
