-- You can hug me, as long as you're not Paul Currier. Sheehan embraced by a supporter during her congressional campaign.

Anti-war crusader Cindy Sheehan, engaged in an upstart challenge to unseat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has dropped her bid to get a restraining order against one of her erstwhile campaign volunteers.
Sheehan on Oct. 10 had sought a restraining order against Paul Currier, 56, a self-described community organizer and resident of the Tenderloin's Boyd Hotel, saying he was sending threatening emails to her campaign after they tried to sever ties with him.
Currier says Sheehan was gunning for him because he's critical of the way she's running her independent congressional campaign.
A hearing on whether Sheehan would get the restraining order was set for today, but Sheehan on Tuesday requested the whole thing be dismissed, court records show. Currier got the news after he showed up in San Francisco Superior Court this morning. Sheehan wasn't around.
"Clearly, Cindy was the 'harasser,' and ducked accountability rather than be exposed in open court,"

Dog, meet your fleas?
I can’t stand the woman myself, but I sure would love to see her unseat Nancy Pelosi.
WTF?
Well that should tell you something. That’s a dangerous district in San Francisco.
It would be HILARIOUS if Cindy beat Pelosi...that would knock the witch down a few notches..hahaha
yup she can either win or take enough votes away from Nan for the RINO(I make an educated guess that he/she [or seeing as how its Frisco, a heshe] is a RINO) to win, either way works for me. as a Congresscritter she will surely gum up the works...and that works for me also.
Having never been to SF, why do I get the feeling that Boyd's is a steak house in San Fran and the hotel is simply the alley out back where they dump partially eaten steaks after business hours?

Overview
The Tenderloin is a historic place full of preserved hotels from the early 20th century, some of which have been renovated into boutique tourist hotels and others into supportive housing. Squalid conditions, homelessness, crime, drug sales, prostitution, liquor stores (more than 60 in 2008), and strip clubs give the neighborhood a seedy reputation. However, these conditions have also kept rents in the area more affordable to low-income and working-class people in a city that is among the priciest in the country. The Tenderloin has one of the city’s highest concentrations of children.
With some of San Francisco’s most prestigious real estate only a few blocks to the north, the nearby office towers of the Financial District and the upscale retailers and hoteliers of Union Square located immediately to the east, the Tenderloin often surprises tourists to the city. As with other lower-income neighborhoods such as the Mission and SOMA districts, many artists and writers make the Tenderloin their home.
While Tenderloin streets closest to the Market Street corridor are among San Francisco’s most undesirable, a gradual but distinct rise in income level occurs as one travels north toward the affluent Nob Hill neighborhood (with the partially gentrified transition area between the two neighborhoods sometimes referred to as the hybrid Tendernob). Relative to other areas, the Tenderloin is the only largely working-class neighborhood within the downtown area.
The dot-com boom of the late 1990s brought a great deal of redevelopment and resident inhabitation to the SOMA district in particular, but some revitalization funds put into the Tenderloin made a prominent impact — evident today by a much broader section of new ethnic restaurants and bars, as well as a more long-term young working class.
The ‘Loin is filled with Transvestites, Drug Addicts, Drug Dealers, Bums puking, pissing and s#itting in the streets, Drug addicts shooting up and smoking crack, and pretty much the worst of society.
Hey!
So, in other words, a breeding ground for Democrats???
Can fleas have fleas?
