Kamala Harris, who climbed almost every wrung of political power here in California, who burst onto the Democratic presidential primary scene with a huge rally packing the streets of Oakland and who fearlessly took on Joe Biden in the first debate--today California's junior senator dropped out of the primary race.  How did a candidate who once seemed so promising and formidable sink so fast?
