Psychiatrist Lise Van Susteren, a political novice and sister of Fox News television personality Greta Van Susteren, announced her candidacy for the U.S. Senate Thursday, saying she wants to fix the nation's fractured health care system and doesn't think current officeholders are up to the task.

"I am not a career politician. I am a citizen fed up with the way the country is headed," Van Susteren, 54, said during a kickoff speech at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore.

"While they may be well meaning, I have lost confidence that the professional politicians can turn things around," she said. "The U.S. Senate needs to be shaken up, and I am not afraid to do it."

Running as a Democrat, Van Susteren joins a field that includes two established politicians, former NAACP President Kweisi Mfume and Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin of Baltimore County. <snip>

2. This may be good news for Mfume....

3. Some competition for Cardin.... Mfume's already doomed.

Whether legitimate or not, he's too scandal plagued.

4. Curious - didn't know Greata had a sister who is a psychiatrist.

Wonder what she thinks of her Scientologist sibling.
