Cindy Sheehan announced at a press conference in San Francisco she won't run against Senator Diane Feinstein in the Democratic primary.
She said if she thought running would end the war sooner she would have, but she doesn't think it is the best way for her to work against the war. She will work for anti-war candidates around the country.
She said that calls by Barbara Boxer and other not to run almost made her decide to become a candidate. She also said she had asked to meet with Feinstein many times.
It is a smart decision. When Medea Benjamin ran against Feinstein in 2000, she did get many votes.
