Kamala Harris isn't up for election this year, but she's popular for endorsements

When it comes to Democratic endorsements, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris appears to be the hottest “get” in next month’s primary.

Harris’s face is showing up on 26 Democratic candidates’ mailers and TV ads, including those for Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley.

And with good reason. Polls show Harris is viewed favorably by 73 percent of Democrats and 63 percent of independents — making her more popular than even longtime U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Gov. Jerry Brown.

AND shoved aside by Kamala as she rushed the stage to shake Sen. Obama's hand at an event for Barbara Boxer

She is a person with such an incredibly sharp mind and I believe a great sense of fair play

I wasn't thrilled with her tenure as San Francisco DA but she was an excellent state attorney general.

she told the voting machine companies to give the state their code and they refused.
As my fuzzy brain remembers she then told them to get their machines out of California.
Can't remember how it ended, but I became an admirer right then.

Maybe Kennedy III as V.P.

That would be an amazing pair. It could usher in 16 years of Democratic control of the White House.

IMHO

if she ran for President. She also told me that she is now an Independent and will vote for all Democrats this fall- I was shocked.
