"She loved me, and I loved me. It was a perfect relationship."

“Sure, I dated Kamala Harris. So what?” I thought that little item would put the issue to rest.

Not quite.

Six months ago, it would have been just a chuckle among us locals. Harris’ emergence at the front of the presidential pack turned it into something that pundits from here to the Beltway parsed from every angle.

Did I say that besides me helping her, she helped me? I honestly don’t think I would have made it through my first grueling run for mayor without her smarts and support.

She loved me, and I loved me. It was a perfect relationship.
