Yes, Steve Cooley has finally conceded, and California now has its first black Attorney General, its first Indian-American Attorney General, and its first female Attorney General all in one. This also makes a CLEAN SWEEP for the Democratic Party, for all major statewide races (that is, aside from little stuff like Board of Equalization.)
We also, arguably, have our most beautiful Attorney General. What do you think?
Five ways in which this is especially good news, for those who care about liberty and justice:
- Cooley had vowed to crack down on medicinal marijuana dispensaries; Kamala will leave them alone.
- Cooley had vowed to help defend our anti-gay Proposition 8 in court; Kamala, agreeing with her predecessor Jerry Brown that it is unconstitutional, will decline to do so.
- Kamala will go after corporate and white-collar criminals which Cooley would have let skate.
- Even though it’s still politically dangerous, she is and has always been a staunch opponent of the death penalty. Set your hair on fire now, ye fogies who still have nightmares of Rose Bird!
- Karl Rove ploughed millions and millions of secret corporate dollars into this race at the last minute, worried that Kamala will have a great political future that should be nipped in the bud. As well he should be worried. Little doughy-faced bastard.
So. I wonder when the Liberal OC boys will take note of this great news? You’d think it would be a big story over there, no? Oh well, keep coming back to the Orange Juice for the stories that really matter!
is everything about race?
Um, I think I have one mention of race, one mention of national origin, one mention of gender, one mention of party, one mention of looks, and a whole bunch of mentions of substantial issues as well as political concerns. It is YOU who can look at all that and only see race, dead white one.
This is a huge BLOW for the protect marriage crew.
You would think one might read about this on other blogs??
Maybe the Hispanic outreach director for Prop 8 had her husband talk to his partners and told them to lay low?
Good for Harris.
Look for a Harris/Newsome primary battle in 2014
Hooray! It sounds like she is a lot better than Cooley. So happy to see the Mexican-bashing Republican Party utterly wrecked by California’s voters!!!!!
*A clean sweep…..quite tidy…
Will the give those Moderate Republicans something to think on for next time!
What do you mean? The few moderate Republicans there are did their best to be elected. It’s just that the GOP primary electorate doesn’t want them.
black is one race mention vern
indian is a race vern
two, ask sandy to count em
So. Whether you want to call Indian-American a “race” or not. That’s still all you saw in this post. When it’s about 10% of the post maybe. That reflects on you, not me.
u wrote it gushingly u race based liberal
“Gushingly,” huh? You’re right, maybe I shoulda said “Too bad she’s black, and unfortunately also Indian-American.” Would that be better? Let’s see what else I wrote…

Wow, you’re right, nothing but RACE in this article!
u race-obsessed weenie freak.
(I mean, look at your handle for Christ’s sake…)
I’m delighted we have an intelligent and dedicated public servant to protect our legal rights in the state of California with Kamala Harris as Attorney General.
your lead sentence is about race. case closed. ur guilty.
My lead sentence is about Steve Cooley, race, gender, and political victory. Caucasian corpse.
In other words comrade sub. Vern you have mention all the Liberal-Socialistic qualification markers.
However, you have forgot the one!…… The affirmative action which got here there.
Same like Obama she was elected for her looks not for her qualifications and soon she will fail same as he is failing.
I have predicted Brown to be elected and am happy because Liberal Brown is necessary catalyst to once for ever eliminate Liberals’ in the California and Harris is the necessary component to it……. The Beat Goes On
Still no mention of this great news on the Liberal OC. They did copy and paste Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation, and they did copy and paste President Obama’s Thanksgiving message, and they did copy and paste an article from the Contra Costa Times about how California Republicans are sucking wind. Whutta blog!
