OK. Last year, Cindy Sheehan ran for Congress against Nancy Pelosi. She got second (which is better than most other third party candidates). But, what if she had won?

-Who would take over as Speaker of the House? (Stenny Hoyer would be the likely choice...but this would possibly upset much of the Democratic Base.)
-What would the Republicans' reaction be? (Sheehan did deprive them of the target of Nancy Pelosi. (Hoyer is mnore to the right than Pelosi.) Further, Sheehan is willing to criticize Obama (Even though much of her criticism is from the opposite direction of Republicans)- and she opposes the corporate bailouts, which the Republican base opposes.)

Any similar thoughts? (Sheehan may be the Left's Ron Paul...)
