Kamala Harris has buzz, but it takes more than buzz to win an election

From The San Francisco Chronicle, by Mr Willie Brown, 26 January 2019.

Here is the lede plus three:

California Sen. Kamala Harris is riding a buzz wave the likes of which we haven’t seen in years.  The question is whether she can turn the buzz into a solid political operation.

As announcements go, Harris’ MLK Day rollout was a blockbuster.  The coverage was largely positive, and the campaign said it had raised $1.5 million in mostly small contributions in the first 24 hours.

Although I also noticed that the campaign gave no report on how much came in on Day Two.

Before the week was over, the Washington chatterers had put Harris at the front of the Democratic pack with former Vice President Joe Biden, who hasn’t announced whether he’ll run.

Mayor Willie Brown knows fellow Democrat Senator Kamala Harris professionally, plus he has dated her.
