I'm sure the midwestern working class is just dying for some coastal elite who let Wall Street get away with breaking the rules and seems to have slept her way into power.
The critiques of coastal elitism and her relationship with Wall Street are valid, but I don't see how accusing her of "sleeping her way into power" is anything but sexist
“Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, continuing his rush to hand out patronage jobs while he retains his powerful post, has given high-paying appointments to his former law associate and a former Alameda County prosecutor who is Brown’s frequent companion.
“Brown, exercising his power even as his speakership seems near an end, named attorney Kamala Harris to the California Medical Assistance Commission, a job that pays $72,000 a year.
“Harris, a former deputy district attorney in Alameda County, was described by several people at the Capitol as Brown’s girlfriend. In March, San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen called her ‘the Speaker’s new steady.’ Harris declined to be interviewed Monday and Brown’s spokeswoman did not return phone calls.
“Harris accepted the appointment last week after serving six months as Brown’s appointee to the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, which pays $97,088 a year.”

Good point Jfern. Assuming this is true, we all know the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board is a prime stepping stone to state AG and the US Senate.
Capital job proving Harris got where she was on her back. Equally capital job not posting at all like a sexist putz.
