Dean Obeidallah: Vice President Kamala Harris should reverse her decision to skip the biggest Catholic -sponsored fund-raiser for the poor and the vulnerable in the country’s biggest city.

The event is October 17 , so there is plenty of time to change her mind but it should not be a poll-driven choice, he says.

Since 1960 , the nominees of both major parties have attended the dinner with one exception: Walter Mondale skipped the dinner in 1984 .

He says there is a major reason and two minor reasons for Harris to skip this ritual: She doesn’t do "light humor".

Hugh Hewitt : Kamala Harris can't afford one more face-plant.

He says she's only going to talk to Oprah and MSNBC hosts.

She fears live extemporaneous remarks, (and even a teleprompter wouldn’t make her into what she isn't).
