No wonder I was So, So Happy today.
Nothing against Biden. I used to be HUGE fan. It was just that he was too old. Not his fault. We all get old. Glad he stepped down, though I wish he had done it much, much earlier. But, the key thing is that it is done.
Heard ‘Dean Phillips‘ speak to CNN this evening. He is supporting ‘Kamala Harris‘. Kind of disappointed, BUT he is being realistic. I applaud him for that.
But, just remember, I wanted Biden out LAST YEAR.

This is the hitherto unfactored in power-block.
The media, all day today, have been talking about ‘Kamala Harris‘ getting the black vote & the female vote. Though I have listened to a fair amount of TV/radio commentary I have yet to hear anyone mention the ‘Asian Indian’ bloc. Yes, it is still a small sliver. But, in swing votes a hundred thousand votes could be crucial.
She is NOT just black. She is Indian too.
Till now, most Indians, for reasons I will not go into here, have voted Republican. They have LOVED Trump.
But, now with Kamala, they will be torn, especially the women. They, i.e., Asian Indians, are proud of their heritage. They will get a real kick from having a 50% Indian as President.
So, just remember, WHO gave you this crucial heads up. SMILE.
