It's the name of a TV show, people! Our new District 6 election column.
This week on Everybody Hates Chris -- Everyone Hates An Open Field. Matier and Ross report today that the dreams of the District 6 Anyone But Daly crowd were dashed as Christine Pelosi debunked the rumor first heard in Beyond Chron and announced that she will not be running for Daly's seat on the Board of Supes. (For some reason, she's listed as "Christina" Pelosi in the M&R column but it looks like her name is actually "Christine." Maybe name recognition was going to be a problem for her in the race.)
Christine Pelosi, whose mother you may have heard of, is a former San Francisco deputy DA who is now active with the Democratic party. In her day job, Christine serves as Chief of Staff to Congressman John Tierney (D-Mass.) (who her mother then appointed to the Intelligence committee) and used to date (scroll down) Texas Democratic congressman Max Sandlin (during which time her mother appointed him to the Ways and Means committee). Sandlin, 63 53, lost his bid for reelection last year (and is now dating a representative from South Dakota. What a player!).
It sounds like all the rumors might have been started because the younger Ms. Pelosi just moved into SoMA. Christine says, "I moved South of Market not to run for district supervisor but to be close to the ballyard where I can enjoy my beloved Giants, mindful that the last time Giants won the World Series, the Democrats won back the U.S. House and Senate."
Isn't anyone going to run against Daly? What about you, District 6 resident Al Gore?

Max Sandlin is 53, NOT 63.
From one -ist to another, Vince is right. However, as someone who worked for Sandlin's reelection campaign I can tell you that he works his Texas charm very well. Because, let's face it, Stephanie Herseth is a babe.
Oops, a subtraction error on my part re Sandlin -- thanks for pointing it out, Houstonists!
Looks like somebody beat Christine with the ugly stick. And there is no way that fat load Al Gore is going to run for anything other than a cheeseburger. Everything he touches turns to shit.
Rumors of a Christine Pelosi run were not generated by
her move into SOMA -- rather her move precipitated
activity from Team Newsom to try to get her in the
race.
Not only does Team Newsom's choice of Pelosi cast
serious doubts on any heretofor identified challenger,
but their failure to get Pelosi in bodes poorly for
the ABCD set. This is a huge early win for Daly and
could indicate that he's already home free.
young pelosi is pretty - too bad she's not running! sure would add great looks to the candidate pool ....
