Because she may be reflective of the opinions of other swing voters. A canary in a coal mine, if you will.
Hey, I could be wrong. But I think that the Admin must be worried about Sheehan's critique catching hold in Middle America, or she wouldn't be getting all of the attacks from the Amen Corner (as reflected in hank and penske's lovely photshop images).
I just think -- based upon this extremely negative response from One Swing Voter -- that it may have been a tactical mistake to have the president actually get his hands dirty in the speech. He's supposed to leave that stuff for the surrogates.
