(47,465 posts)Personally I want her to explain her stand on Civil Forfeiture that she supported while AG. She opposed a 2011 law restraining the practice of civil asset forfeiture.

Yes, she is biracial like Obama, but while Obama was raised by a single mother, Harris' upbringing is quite upper middle class: a woman who was a breast cancer researcher and her father is an economic professor at Stanford.
No, I am not holding this against her, but she can hardly present herself as "every woman."
But, we will see. I don't think that she will have an easy sailing as many here hope.
And, yes, the little point of pushing Franken out.
