17. It feels like 2008 again. For those too young to remember, 2008 was Obama's first time

running as POTUS, and the "black man" drew massive crowds. More than Kamala, but still, he

ran on "HOPE" (that was one of his campaign slogans and images). Obama transcended everything.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_United_States_presidential_election


He demolished everything that year, and got 365 EV. I believe Kamala is yet another transcendent person.

It was also the last time NC went "blue". I think it will again this year.

Oh, both happen to be HEALTHY black people. Obama a man, Kamala a woman. Both were US Senators, but Kamala Harris has the added advantage of already being VP for 4 years. So to me that would neutralize most of the "but, she's a woman" crap out there. Not all of it, but most of it.

Oh, and he's been campaigning for Kamala too.
