Sheehan represents true grassroots rebellion. Challenging the status quo. While in the "other party," the main contenders for Republican leadership are the son of a mafioso who served time in Sing Sing (Giuliani), and Mitt Romney. The media made a big deal of Romney's win in the Iowa straw poll, while ignoring Dr. Ron Paul's winning of 5 (FIVE) straw polls thus far. Grassroots Republicans want a change, and Democrats who see Pelosi and the other Democratic leaders selling out want a change. I hope Sheehan runs, and I also hope the Republicans, in their attempt to freeze Paul out of the nomination process, move their primaries up and announce their candidate much earlier than they normally do. This would allow a window of opportunity to form a third party. A true third party, not a joke party headed by a Perot or Nader shill.
