      Ah, I remember when Hillary (and everyone else) thought she was going to win.

        Now I ask, did the Kamala selection change a single vote to Biden? Was there anybody out there saying “I wasn’t going to vote for Biden, but now that he’s picked Kamala, I have changed my mind!”?

        Klobuchar might have been the one for me. But probably not.

          There is no lack of black Americans making positive, reflective statements on what Kamala Harris’ nomination to a major party ticket means to them. There is no lack of Indian Americans doing the same.

          Officially, the Jamaican Foreign Minister publicly congratulated Harris with a tweet. But nothing from Narendra Modi’s administration. Not that the Modi administration has to say anything, just that the silence there is noteworthy.

            Tweet from Ram Madhav, leader of a major Indian political party:

            Going by that Twitter thread, reactions seem more negative than positive on Harris.

              I had occasion to spend about 3 hours in a waiting room yesterday morning where CNN was on the TV.

              If Kamala had been a male, the only term to describe the CNN coverage would have been a verbal fellating. The talking heads went on, and on, AND ON, about how historic her selection was, how she's a "powerful woman" (who dropped out of the race before the first primary, of course), and how she brings a "new face" to the Democratic party.

              Nothing, nothing, was said about her history as a Senator, Congresswoman, or politician at the local level in California.

              It reminded me of Bernie Goldberg's book, "A Slobbering Love Affair."

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  One of the talking heads on CNN said "KaMAla." I should write a letter calling him out for racism.

                                  @89th in case you thought that 2016 headline was photoshopped (I did), here's a story from the Sacramento Bee:
