Elihu Harris
Robert Harris

Wait..those last two aren’t related, but they are attorneys too!

Don’t be afraid to ask the seemingly obvious, because you will get the answer (and who knows what else)

You are absolutely right that I should have mentioned that Meena is related to Kamala Harris. It is a poor excuse, but I came to know Meena through a fundraiser I was planning to organize for Senator Obama and she was the point person for the campaign. I did not know her connection to Kamala and it did not come up in my interview with her. ( I found out about it after the article was published.. let’s just say that I am still getting to know all the players in local politics and did not connect what might seem to you to be obvious dots.)
However, I went back and read the article and I think that the points I was making are still valid…
1. Meena, regardless of her political connections, is still a part of a group of a young people who are working harder than any such group before to be involved in the political process.
2. I have not seen a whole lot of evidence that suggests that there is a similar movement in Senator McCain’s campaign. If you know one of those energetic young Republicans, do get in touch and I will be happy to share their point of view with the readers as well.
3. Other young people may not be as well connected as Meena, but they are nevertheless working very hard this year, content to be unnoticed and unsung and earning their way into the political system. I wish they would get in touch, I am always looking for such dedicated people to write about!
4. I hate to say this, but a little bit of personal vendetta against the Harrises is peeking out from your diatribe. Is there anything specific that you’d like to share? Not vague allegations, mind you, but substantiated facts ? As I mentioned before, I will be more than happy to post your point of view. All comments, so long as they are not abusive and smeary, are welcome.
