Washington (CNN) -- Briefly back in Congress doing his day job, Ron Paul met with high school students outside his office. True to form, he signed copies of the Constitution and wryly told them with a chuckle, "No one around here reads it very much. I'd like to get everybody to read it." [...] What Paul did not do was attend a closed-door gathering of House Republicans. In fact, the GOP presidential contender is known to never attend these meetings.

The lack of support for Katherine Harris' Senate bid among some Republicans isn't being replicated by hard-core conservative groups like the Christian Coalition. That was apparent Saturday night in Orlando, where Harris was invited on stage at the Christian Coalition of Florida's annual banquet dinner. Harris shared a laugh with conservative talk show host Ann Coulter and was lauded publicly by Ralph Reed, former executive director of the national Christian Coalition. [...] The unwavering support from the Christian Coalition is hardly a surprise, based on Harris' voting record. In the group's latest scorecard ratings for Congress, Harris was one of...
