We Declared Peace and No one Came-Updated

Washington Post has this story on the decline and fall of anti-war icon Cindy Sheehan, only they didn't write it that way:

...Sheehan found herself addressing a crowd of only about 100 Saturday afternoon. The large tent where supporters had erected a stage hung with the banner "Speak Truth to Power" was only partially full. In the morning Sheehan signed copies of her new book, being published this week, for an even smaller crowd.

The Post then goes on to offer a host of excuses for the small turnout, including:

"The weather did not help."

"...attention has shifted to Congress, where some Democrats have begun to push for the withdrawal of troops."

"...the event coincided with the holiday weekend."

"...many of those who support the cause are in New Orleans, helping to lead efforts to clean up the city after Hurricane Katrina."

Meanwhile, Powerline is not so optimistic that Sheehan will be back.
