It's over 8 times the number of Democrats in my county.

There were 20,000 at the Women's March I attended last weekend...that is a huge crowd!

she's the one. my choice actually, but this gave me chills.

However, when calculating crowd size for Democratic candidates, always factor in the melanin and XX chromosome quotients. I don't know the specific formula, but I do know that this crowd is HUGE by comparison.

"It was a warm, sun drenched afternoon, and it's estimated that at least 5,000 people came to the event."

After a full year of campaigning, Bernie managed to pull approximately as many people as Kamala drew at her campaign kickoff.

Hmmmm.

That post was preemptively anticipating our local bro contingent and their wah-bow response.

You're welcome.

I distinctly remember how often we had to hear from those folks that crowd size was an indication of viability.

The only other thing that I remember was puking in my mouth everytime it was made.

and back out of the campaign.

Even though she did not Legistlate the laws that she had to enforce. She did modify how she applied them, focusing on severity of the crime more than what an unyielding law would call for.

However, you must admit Kamala has captured the interest of the voters if she can match "the Bern" of May 2016.

Several people there; I'm not the only one who thinks President Harris would be good for us all.

Definitely felt like something big was happening.

I think the American voter is hungering for REAL justice, administered by a President with real legal experience and muscle, and an unwavering dedication to justice for all. Healing and restoring our battered justice department under the able leadership of Kamala Harris may be just what the doctor ordered.

but after watching gothmog's post above...yep

Kamala Harris is young. She needs to be on the ticket in the VP position, with a more experienced person at the head of the ticket. By having a winning ticket that gets reelected, and then she can head the ticket for the next two elections, the Democrats can stay in control for a very long, very excellent time.

She's 54.

She would be a terrific president. She is certainly not too young. BUT she is young enough to wait. Eight years from now some other excellent candidates, with more experience and credentials that are just as notable as hers, may decide not to run due to THEIR age. I would like to see a Warren/Harris ticket, or even a Biden/Harris ticket.

Absolutely though, if she is the nominee, she would get my vote.

Nancy Pelosi proves the value of experience.

This about selecting our best candidate to ensure we remove that lunatic from the WH. And I suspect Nancy Pelosi would agree with me. Kamala is fresh, inspirational and exciting. She will bring out voters in much the same way Obama did. I dont see that from Biden or Warren.

...Polk, Garfield, Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, Clinton and Obama were all under 50 when they first became President.

I was impressed. Big crowd, too.

Interesting.

The day she announced she'd be running she raised $1.5 mil. Proud do have been a part of that.

I walked it and asked police because I lost count as it meandered around and zig zagged across plaza. He told me at least 12 blocks long.
