San Fran is a lovely city to visit (don't call it 'Frisco - they hate that). I visited on vacation in 2004. Stayed right down by the Hyde Street pier, ...um, the Argonaut Hotel, maybe? I'd visit again, but I would never talk politics with the locals!
Glad you enjoyed your stay! Come on back, there's lots to do here! If you want to talk politics, you can always call me! ;>)
(Thanks for the not calling it Frisco plug....as you can see in my tag line, that's my pet peeve!!)
