U.S. Rep. John Mica also spoke at the dinner, introducing Harris and telling the crowd she has the ability to beat Nelson in November, just as she won her seat in Congress in 2002.
She was not favored, Mica said. She wasnt on the radar screen. She didnt hold any high position. And she wiped out her opponent and no one predicted that.
Mica told the crowd Harris is a human dynamo who showed strength after the 2000 presidential election in her capacity as Floridas Secretary of State.
You saw what happened in the 2000 elections, Mica said. Others would have had a faint heart and walked away. Katherine Harris helped us put in office, and rightfully so, George Bush as president of the United States.
During her speech, Harris said she followed the letter of the law in certifying a George W. Bush victory in Florida.
Harris said beating Nelson and Florida electing a Republican governor in 2006 would help shape the political future of the country.
I wont say its just about the future of our state its about the future of America, because whomever wins this seat and whomever wins the governors seat is likely going to determine the presidency in 2008, Harris said. Florida will become the third most populous state in the nation. And whoever wins Florida, wins.
Harris attributed growth in the nations Gross Domestic Product to tax relief passed by Congress under Bush.

Harris said one Florida representative suggested a slogan for her campaign against Nelson.
I had one of the most liberal house members from Florida say to me, Ive got a great slogan for you for Nelson. I said What is it? He said, All about nothing for far too long.
Harris said she replied she did not think she could use the slogan.
I said Well, its kind of mean. I dont think I could really use it, but can I quote you? And hes like No, no, no.

Why is it that those so adamantly supportive of GWB can routinely be heard saying, 'we need to keep our majority', 'it's vital that we hold every seat in Congress and try to gain more!', yet when it comes to Katherine Harris those same folks have suddenly developed laryngitis?

Heck, you'd think something as important as a United States senate seat would warrant the support of the President.
Then again, what do I know? I'm not as sophisticated as GWB's most ardent followers.

Either Nelson is very unpopular within his own party, or the Dims are trying to discourage conservative voters by portraying Harris as a RINO. I don't get it. Why would House Dims support her?
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
My guess is that these are other Reps who have come to know and admire her ability to get things accomplished.....which can happen when people work together for issues that affect their states.
For example...Harris introduced Jessica's Law and got b--partisan support....
Rep. Harris urges restoration of Victims Crime Fund money Flanked by (right to left) Mr. Mark Lunsford (father of Jessica Lunsford); U.S. Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX); Tom Charron (Executive Director of the National District Attorneys Association); U.S. Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA), and a representative of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, Rep. Harris urges Congress to restore funding cut from the Victims Crime Fund in President Bush's budget proposal.

Harris supports fair tax
If we had the fair tax, if we take a look at real tax reform, then you cannot imagine the growth in our economy, Harris said. People would start saving instead of spending. And people like Teresa Heinz that have $7 million in income when her husband was running for the presidency and didnt pay a dime in taxes because of tax shelters all of a sudden pay taxes on all those homes and all those cars.
Harris said the fair tax would ensure that those at or below the poverty level would never pay a dime.
Sign her on! Fair Tax ping!

It's probably due to the late hour of the post. They're all in bed.
It has not set well with me for a long time that the GOP is not getting behind the only Pubbie in Florida with the guts to take on Nelson.

Harris said the fair tax would ensure that those at or below the poverty level would never pay a dime.That alone should be enough to get her elected if she hammers on it enough.
How about never again having to file an income tax return?
Can you imagine a greater gift to give your children and grandchildren than that?
