As in, Harris would be one of the most liberal candidates, yet their campaign wouldn't like being associated with liberal places?

This is peak consultant right here. Harris is going to be called a "San Francisco liberal" a thousand times, no matter where she announces her campaign from. They really think that announcing on a stage in Iowa or something is going to give her more votes then announcing on a stage in Oakland? Probably the only way it could hurt her even a bit is if she did it in open air with like the SF skyline and/or GG bridge in the background.

Oakland, despite being a working class city, is home to the Golden State Warriors, a team despised by most of the country. It wouldn't work

They really aren't. At least no more than the normal backlash given to winning teams. Also a bit besides the point.

Either way, bad optics. Should just run with SF and make the case for big cities, take back the "small town" bs.

Philadelphia-based venture capitalist Richard Vague says he's considering a run for the Democratic nomination for president, and that he's been conducting focus groups across the country to test the waters:

San Francisco is spectacularly unattractive to a lot of Americans right now for reasons nothing to do with partisan politics. The tech explosion has made it the closest thing to Elysium we have in this country. It's hell on earth for those who are not either extremely wealthy or part of the techie gentrifier class.

Reading the Vague interview now. For a venture capitalist Democrat, he seems actually like a pretty good guy with decent intentions. He has no chance in hell of winning, but I'd gladly take a guy like him over Romney or Steyer.

de Blasio says he's going to do more travel around the country to "preach the gospel" of NYC....and dodges the question of whether said travel implies presidential ambition:

Looks like dark money in politics would be one of his key issues. He has long been an advocate for reforms here.
