    So begins her campaign for VP or AG. She was one of my early favorites but stumbled out of the gate, never recovered, and ultimately disappointed.

    It still seems like for everyone that drops out, two more take their place.

    It's like sharks' teeth, but filled with uninspiring people.

    On the honest, would make a great AG, IMHO.

    She should be next, or she should have dropped weeks ago actually. Her FOX gig is secure, so I don't see her point anymore.

    Letting her sister run her campaign was a very early warning sign that this was an ill-fated project.

    In totality her campaign had very little impact on the running dialogue of the race. Her biggest moments were 1) smearing Joe Biden as a racist (or racist appeaser/sympathizer) and 2) getting mauled by Tulsi Gabbard for her behavior as AG of CA and 3) her bizarre fixation with getting Donald Trump banned from Twitter. Looking back on that, you can see why she's in the position she is today.

    I'm more surprised that she had the foresight to pull the plug, because getting out this early is a shrewd, face-saving move that opens the door for her continued future at the federal level.

    I'm guessing the bills must have just been piling up like crazy. IIRC her inflow-outflow was pretty terrible.

    Yep. Harris was pretty unlikable.

    Yeah - this should have been a huge red flag. Even if her sister is a brilliant manager (I know nothing about her), it makes any kind of objectivity difficult. Good to see the field start narrowing - this is the first dropout of someone that actually had supporters that might switch to another candidate. I think demographics play a bigger role than people think, and suspect this could be a slight boost to Warren (women) and Biden (minorities).

    Glad to see it. I think she was one of the few with a legitimate shot, but she was never able to build on the first debate boost. I hope the rest of the group below her drop out soon. They are just wasting cash and resources, IMO.

    It was also too resonant with the current "first family."

    Putin must have some mission for her to complete. She helped torpedo Kamala Harris; now, who?

    But, yeah, the FOX gig seems assured. I have never before seen a Democratic guest, especially a candidate for the Presidency, so comfortable on FOX. The hosts don't interrupt, don't shout her down, don't contradict. For that and other reasons (never criticizing Trump; kissing Ass-ad; and she was an early favorite of Russian media, disproportionately covered, probably because she does a better job skewering her own supposed party than do the Republicans) I just don't trust her. At all.

    As far as Kamala, I hope we still see national treasure Maya Rudolph's portrayal ("I'm the fun aunt; I call that....a funt").
