There is more to it than just her being demonized in 2000 -- she has a habit of not make scheduled appointments and leaving party officials waiting. Happened in one County when they didn't get the word she wasn't coming until the last minute.

From what I have heard it is a poorly run campaign and no one with any political savvy is going to touch that campaign and waste dollars that can be used elsewhere.

I was at a county party meeting where Harris spoke. I was shocked by how liberal her speech was. She spoke about expanding public housing, new environmental laws, etc. etc. As this is a very conservative county, the reaction was very muted in the room at best. It was like she was using her more "moderate" stump speech, but giving it to her base who would prefer to hear more red meat.

She then immediately left without shaking hands after getting an obviously staged note that she had a "pressing appointment". As a big backer of her, it was quite a disappointment.
