nearly every post here and statement released so far mentions the anticipation of Kamala Harris KICKING THE ASS of Mullah Pence.

and they would be great in so many roles.

Can you imagine what it is going to feel like when they are running things?

the governor of MA is a rethug. We don't need another Scott Brown when we're trying to get a majority.

I'm glad I clicked through, because the quoted text portion of this tweet sounded a little abrupt. Turns out it's only part of her statement, a longer, very gracious and supportive one. All of the women who were being considered are impressing me so much with their uplifting and supportive messages. It's a great day!

She was my first choice during the primaries.

We cannot, however, afford to lose her in the senate. She is wonderful and would have made a wonderful POTUS.

Go Joe and Kamala!!!!!!!

I could see her as Senate Majority Leader. I think she would be great.

There are a lot of positions she would be great at, but we don't want her to leave the Senate since there is always the fear that Baker would appoint a republican to replace her. Even though he's very republican light, you can never, ever trust them and it's not worth the risk to lost that seat to an R.
