Kamala Harris set to toss hat into presidential ring: Sources

Sen. Kamala Harris has decided to seek the 2020 Democratic nomination for president, sources close to her told KCBS Radio. She'll announce her candidacy on or around Martin Luther King Day, probably at a campaign rally in Oakland, the sources said.

*** Even though Harris has alluded to a 2020 presidential campaign in interviews to promote her new memoir, aides said before the book rollout began that no formal announcement about her political future is expected before the first wave of the book tour concludes later this month.

But several sources with knowledge of her plans said she has in fact decided to run, with the enthusiastic blessing of her husband and two stepchildren.

The debate within her camp has been how, and where, to launch her campaign. The tentative plan is for Harris to enter the race with a campaign rally in the city where she was born and began her legal career.

*** Harris' team wants maximum exposure for her campaign kickoff, and has been scouting for a telegenic location that could give her a "Springfield moment" akin to Barack Obama's campaign launch in 2007 at the Old State Capitol in Illinois.

Harris' advisers want to avoid identifying her too closely with San Francisco, where she first made her political mark as a two-term district attorney.

"San Francisco is viewed as a very nutty place by people outside of California, and frankly, by a lot of people inside California," Sragow said.

Berkeley, where Harris was raised before her parents divorced and she moved with her mother and sister to Montreal, Canada, has also been dismissed by her strategists as not projecting the image they're looking for.

That leaves Oakland, where Harris was born, and where she returned after law school to become a deputy district attorney ...

Her experience is pretty thin, but then again so was Obama's. I predict she will drop out after losing New Hampshire to fauxcahontas...

With an early California Democratic Primary, Harris has to be considered a favorite

Kamalia Harris set to toss asshat into ring...

All these people have realized what a money maker
a campaign is. Sure I can’t win but look at the cash
flow and the media coverage.

Somehow I don't see her playing well in FL...NC...OH...MI...IN...among others.But she'd surely get 70% of the vote in Massachusetts.

And 95% in DC.

Yes, yes, but both of her parents were citizens of other countries when she was born. I guess that makes her a "native" citizen but not a "natural born" one.

Oh well, the law didn't matter in 2008 and in 2012.
