Politics News Article Reuters.com: "SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Cindy Sheehan, the anti-Iraq war activist whose son was killed in the conflict there, put an end to speculation on Thursday that she would launch a long-shot bid to become a U.S. senator from California.
Sheehan, speaking in front of San Francisco City Hall, said she would not run for the office.
'If I thought that running for Senate would bring our young people home more quickly I would do it in a minute, but I am not convinced that that would do so,' Sheehan said.
A campaign would have pitted her against California's senior senator, Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat who is one of the state's most popular politicians.
Rats! Think of all the fun we could have had with Cindy for Senate! And after witnessing the sad spectacle at the King funeral this week Sheehan's run for the Senate would have set the campaign on a higher standard. At least she waited until her son was buried before she began using him for a soapbox.
