Harris or Sanchez?

[Beaverhausen]

Anyone?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. I like Harris, myself, but both are qualified.

How about you?

[Beaverhausen]

2. Harris!

I see her going to the White House someday.

There, I said it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. That would not surprise me one little bit.

You said it, and I agree!

[achsadu]

3. Harris

She is the more progressive though Sanchez is good too.

5. Harris

from my understanding, she's been a great AG

I have friends supporting her as well

[Mr.Bill]

6. Harris

Although either would be good, I think Harris has Presidential potential one day.

But you'll have to wait until November to see, because I think they will be in the runoff. It's nice knowing this early our next Senator will be a Democrat.

7. KAMALA HARRIS

MIKE THOMPSON, WOLF and DODD were all endorsed by CA DEM Party so after reading their statements and other info online I went with the state party's recs.

I thought I would struggle to choose between Harris and Sanchez but the latter had some issues - http://latinopoliticsblog.com/2009/06/02/the-making-of-the-%E2%80%9Cloretta-sanchez-scandal%E2%80%9D/

25. FYI: Thompson is a Blue Dog, and Dodd is a well-connected former Republican

They're both my reps too, and while Thompson got my primary vote for lack of any alternative, I voted for Mariko Yamada over Dodd. Yamada is a true dem and progressive and not part of the local oligarchy (yet). I didn't vote for Aguiar-Curry in the primary but I'll have to in the general election. It's either her or Schaupp, the Republican (yuck). That Assembly race bewteen Wolk and Aguiar-Curry got real ugly with all the special interest money pouring in:

This year’s Assembly race, particularly the last month and a half, was marked by the extraordinary influx of special-interest money funding Aguiar-Curry’s campaign.

Independent expenditures on her behalf totaled $2.5 million, second in the state only to those spent on Dodd’s Senate campaign.

Special-interest groups, primarily charter-school proponents, oil companies and Realtors, poured money into Aguiar-Curry’s campaign at a rate never seen before in a local Assembly race. Schaupp noted Tuesday evening that the amount of money spent for each vote he received this year was about 75 cents. For Aguiar-Curry, he said, “$160 per vote.”

Most of that money was not spent by Aguiar-Curry herself; rather, it was spent by independent expenditure committees over which candidates have no control. That money paid for mailers, phone calls, radio and television ads, social media promotions and more, all of which made Aguiar-Curry a household name in a way none of her opponents could match.

I'll vote Kamala Harris for senate.

37. Those that I voted for were endorsed by the CA Dem Party

But in the GE. I will vote for HRC, Harris and every DEM on the ballot. I don't care if they weren't primary choice, I will still vote for them in the GE. I want as many Republicans out of Congress as possible. I consider them terrorists.

8. Harris n/t

[Brother Buzz]

9. I believe Harris and Sanchez will both prevail in the primary....

and will face each other in November's general election; the closest republican is a distant third!!!!

I'm a Northern Californian and lean heavily toward Harris.

[SunSeeker]

10. We need Sanchez to stay in her House seat; she's managed to keep it blue in very red Orange County.

[Brother Buzz]

11. She gave up her house seat to run for the senate

CA - 46 is an open race.

[SunSeeker]

12. Well, Harris is the better candidate for the Senate regardless.

Smart, politically savvy, and very popular.

Me, I'm stuck in that douchebag Dana Rohrenbacher's House district...although he did come out for pot.


Just did some Googling and looks like Lou Correa is looking pretty good for keeping the 46th District blue. http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=805830 That area has changed a lot demographically, becoming increasingly Latino. The Repubs may have lost the 46th forever.

[Brother Buzz]

13. My Magic 8 Ball say Sanchez will be unemployed come January

[SunSeeker]

14. She can always go back to being a personal financial advisor.

I remember she used to do retirement and investment planning classes in Orange County decades ago...I actually attended one of them at a local community center!

[Retrograde]

15. Prefer Harris, would not be unhappy with Sanchez

I know a little more about Harris since she's local and did an OK job as San Francisco DA,and her winning wouldn't take a Dem out of Congress, but I would be pleased with either as Senator.

[TeamPooka]

16. Mailed my vote in for Harris last week

[Kablooie]

17. Sanchez is a proud blue dog Democrat.

So if you like that sort of thing...

And don't forget Democrat Massie Monroe who discovered "mind control slavery by satellite energy technology weapons."

[JonLeibowitz]

18. I don't vote for elected officials to high office with no legislative record.

That is the way you get burned.

My guess? Kamala Harris is a wolf in sheep's clothing. At least I know where the others stand. I voted Sanchez, though I am under no illusions that she is a progressive. She did vote against the Iraq War though so...

[Merlot]

21. Harris as CA AG brought suit against the banks for the housing crisis

I believe she worked with the NY AG.

She's also made sure the "kill the gays" amendment didn't get on the ballot.

Those are two off the top of my head.

[JonLeibowitz]

22. Interesting, anywhere to read up on this for the fall? I might vote for her in November then

At least I helped lock the GOP out of the CA senate seat, for certain.

[Merlot]

23. Having two dems in the race is nice - and both women!

here's her page: http://www.kamalaharris.org/about-kamala/

[Throd]

19. Sanchez

[KamaAina]

20. Harris, although I might go Green in the primary

[brush]

27. Isn't the primary already over

[KamaAina]

28. It is indeed

but it was not when I posted that on June 1.

Along with a tiny handful of others , I did indeed go with Elizondo, the Green, but as a "Green Dog Dem" , I'm with Kamala all the way in the fall.

[flamingdem]

24. Harris is better imo nt

[BlueCaliDem]

26. We voted for Kamala Harris - and she won the primary, so...

[still_one]

29. She already won, it doesn't matter now

31. She won the primary. Why isn't it a moot issue?

[still_one]

32. I used the word incorrectly. I meant it doesn't matter because she has already won.

[BlueCaliDem]

33. Got it! :-) Although they're still counting the ballots (despite all ballots already having come in

that are qualified to count in the end result) I don't see the numbers changing in favor of Sanchez - although I like Sanchez, as well.

[still_one]

34. FYI, I also voted for Harris, and I agree with you, I don't see the final result changing

[BlueCaliDem]

35. Great Californian minds think alike, still_one!
