ABC News Exclusive ^ | January 17, 2003 | Marc Ambinder

[ewing]

A gal needs her furs paid for on the taxpayers dime during the winter in Chicago!

[You Dirty Rats]

Another lightweight. The Dems need a heavyweight to enter their field.

"Draft Ted Kennedy!"

He'll make a big splash!

[clintonh8r]

This should be fun.

[JohnnyZ]

Imagine a Janet Reno- Katherine Harris matchup for that Florida Senate Seat in '04!

Oh, please no, Katherine Harris is hardly a conservative and not very likeable, in my opinion. Give me Mark Foley or Frank Brogan or . . . .

[ewing]

Don't say that, the Dims are rumoured to be talking about running Ol' Jimmuh Carter in Gawja to run for that open Senate seat.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Ah yes. The Clintonistas never fully go away. They just keep coming back to haunt us. Carol Mostly-Fraud back in the game again. This is gonna be FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!! She apparently has a short memory and doesn't remember the 1998 FReepings which helped embarrass her and Hillary and Bill who would come to town to stump for her.

[Coop]

Does anyone care?

I do. Fitzgerland may actually have a shot at holding onto his seat if Mosely-Braun is his opponent again.

[ewing]

And Katherine is a first term Congressperson, I hope she does well there because she may be needed soon..

[ewing]

How about fake fur coats this time?

[CdMGuy]

That must have been after he was ripping George Bush to shreds. I changed the station because his left wing diatribe agianst Bush was such pure BS, it was giving me indigestion. Just one more media A-hole.

[pubmom]

If she's cold and needs a fur coat, she can stop shaving her legs.

[ewing]

Fun is an understatement.

[ewing]

ROTFLOL!

[MindBender26]

If seat is open, Mel Maretinez in a cake walk! Cuban escapee, conservative, friend of the Bush's now Sec HUD, smart, tall, good looking.

[KE]

She's running for Pres. not Senator. On one of the news shows yesterday someone was talking about her and said she had called Terry McCal. and asked him to leave a place for her on the "platform". Can you imagine what it would be like in Iowa with all 7-8-9-10? of these "hopefuls" fighting for stage time. (Screeching and Whinning). Karen

[Doc Savage]

Let's face it,...she represents the Best of the DemoCraps!

[ml/nj]

Carol Moseley Braun will reveal around 1:00 PM ET, VIA written statement

I am prompted to wonder if she is actually able to read that written statement, or rather is trained to recite it by rote.

ML/NJ

[jriemer]

Her mother committed Social Security fraud. Carol was never accused of involvement however, some of the SS money did make it into her personal accounts.

[GraniteStateConservative]

I don't think Harris will end up running. She could end up as Majority Leader of the House if she stays around 10 years.

[capt. norm]

Somebody tell her that there may soon be an opening for her type in Iraq. The person there who is most like her is about to lose his job and be "run outa Dodge".

I think she would especially like the Saddam perk of having her picture on everything instead of having to hunt down cameras to jump in front of (like McCain) every time the opportunity comes up.
