Kamala Harris: Democrats' anti-Palin

It’s easy to understand why Kamala Harris, California’s next attorney general, is being called the future of the Democratic Party, a rising political star in the mold of one of her big supporters — President Barack Obama.

At first glance, the president and Harris have much in common: Both are mixed-race children of immigrants raised by a single mother; both are eloquent, telegenic big-city lawyers with strong liberal credentials who catapulted from relative obscurity to the national stage. And like the first African-American president, Harris has broken a long-standing barrier — she’s California’s first African-American attorney general and the first woman to hold the office.

7. Politico is full of it as usual.

"Say, have you noticed that both of them are not caucasian?"

[Iggo]

8. She's pro gay marriage and anti death penalty.

Ain't no president taking those stands.

Kamala Harris is Kamala Harris.

11. From what I gather, most people under 50 are okay with gay marriage

and against the death penalty.

So in 6 years, she may just meet the demographic change that will come to America.

Maybe then the Grumpy old Poops get out of the way...

9. Meh. We'll see

More than anything else, she seems like a machine politician. At least with that, you know what you're getting.
