Sarah Palin, Cindy Sheehan [View all]

A few years after being on the news almost daily, Cindy Sheehan has pretty much dropped out of the spotlight although she still tries very hard to get her views on the issues out. She's even a candidate for governor of California.

On the other hand, Sarah Palin, who should have sunk out of sight, is making big bucks from speaking fees, now has a tv channel and is often the subject of OPs here at DU.

When was the last time you've read an OP here about Cindy and what she is doing or saying? The last one I recall is one I wrote quite awhile ago about her running for governor.
