Cindy Sheehan vs. Nancy Pelosi

I'm feeling too lazy to research at the moment.  Does anyone have the low-down of information on this race?  Is she running as a Green or a primary against Pelosi?  If so, when is the primary?  Polling information?

I want to go to sleep at night knowing that Sheehan will be crushed.  Although it would be hilarious for Pelosi to lose, I'd rather have that happen after I leave the area that she represents.

De facto.  Doolittle (district 4, retiring due to Abranoff connections) is actually who I consider my representative.  I feel that Pelosi represents the Bay Area, where I live, to a large extent though, so I might be fudging the facts a little.  I live a couple miles off from the edge of the 8th district that she represents and I work in her district in north SF, so I feel connected to it.

I don't get the argument against her.  She's pretty much the most liberal representative to be a leader in the House in the history of time.  She compromises on a few issues, not to "keep an incumbent president cozy" as the foolish here suggest but rather to keep the Democrats in power.  If she voted and lead how San Francisco wanted her to vote and lead 100% of the time, the Democrats would be completely destroyed.  She shows all indications of being a loyal, passionate Democrat over an ideologue, take that how you will.  If these kids want the Democrats to lose and Republicans to take power, all for the sake of Democratic leadership representing San Franciscan values, then ok, whatever.

Like I said, I would probably support Sheehan if it wasn't in my area.  It'd be hilarious for the Democrats to suffer such an embarassment.  But since I live here now, it'd embarass me to have a person backed by crazy, conspiratorial people knock off the third in line for the presidency.
