That's right. Likely Pelosi-supporting radical leftists are being blamed, at least. I'm not surprised they did it. Or if they didn't do and Sheehan's people did it to themselves for attention, I'd not be surprised by that either.
I'm just surprised the Sheehan people didn't blame Republicans!
Cindy Sheehan's Campaign Headquarters Heavily Damaged in Late Night Attack
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Just 5 days before the election, at 3a.m. on October 30th, all of the front windows of the Cindy Sheehan for Congress campaign offices were shattered. Although staffers had been in the office less than an hour earlier, no one was in the building at the time of the incident. No one was hurt and there were no witnesses. Cindy Sheehan is a candidate for Congress in California's 8th Congressional District race against incumbent Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
"It seems to have been a calculated intimidation tactic," said Tiffany Burns, the Cindy for Congress campaign manager. "One of our computers was stolen, but no other property was taken from our offices and no surrounding buildings were targeted. Clearly they wanted to both frighten us and to gather information." Total damage to the campaign office is currently estimated at more than $5,000.
The Cindy for Congress campaign recently chronicled a series of unusual events, including other threats of violence, in a statement issued on October 13th. In that statement, Cindy Sheehan noted "[t]he past few weeks have been a little strange at Cindy for Congress [...] the things that have been happening could just be coincidences, or a run of bad luck, but the climate for the possibility of campaign hanky-panky certainly exists."
Campaign staffers also note each incident, including today's early morning incident, has followed closely on the heels of a confrontation with Cindy Sheehan's opponent Nancy Pelosi. This morning's incident occurred after an on-air confrontation between the two candidates on KQED's public affairs program Forum with Michael Krasny on Wednesday morning.
"Each time we confront her, each time we ask her for a debate, each time we gain ground in the polls, something horrible happens," said Burns. "Once or twice might be a coincidence, but such a consistent correlation is hard to ignore."

Sheehan is an absolute fool, but a completely ineffectual fool. I would much rather have her in office, unable to do anything, than the calculating and obsessed antigun, socialist-supporting Pelosi.

A candidate that would pull this kind of stunt is not a serious candidate.

Someone (not me) posted this elsewhere:
Those 15 minutes weren't even hers, they were bought and paid for by her son's blood in the service of his country. He knew what it was to have honor, yet she makes a mockery of his sacrifice every time she opens her mouth. I sympathize with her anguish, but this woman will never find peace or closure as long as she believes that her son died for nothing. She has taken his gift and twisted it to fit her own warped agenda. This was never hers, it belonged to Casey. So lets remenber him......

Thank you Casey. You are the textbook definition of a HERO. Thank you for serving with honor and dignity. You have taken your place among the countless other men and women that have given all so that we, the American people, might prosper and not fade from this earth. You will never be forgotten, and I will always cherish your gift.

Nope, Whack-job.....
Sounds like the campaign did this to garner attention....

I would love to see Sheehan take over from Pelosi and lead the Democrats.
It would make them into daily comedy, and they would get nothing done.

She won't take over if she wins. She'll be just another junior rep. Whoever is next up on the seniority list will take Pelosi's job.
It would be funny, though.

oh God it would be so great to be rid of Pelosi.
