Harris may be overrated, but she's certainly better than Hillary. No known baggage, hasn't been in the spotlight for 25 years, would probably excite the Democratic base, and might get near the levels of minority support that Obama did. Of course she'll be attacked by Republicans for being a "left coast liberal" but I think that line of attack is overrated. Kerry was a "Massachusetts Liberal", and still did better in the midwest than Hillary Clinton did, while Obama, who was a "Chicago liberal" had the best showing in the Midwest for a Democrat since Lyndon Johnson, IIRC, and manged to win North Carolina, once home to the infamous Jesse Helms.
