Congresswoman Harris has said that one of the main reasons she's running for the Senate is to help implement real Tax Reform.

I believe she'll support & promote the Fair Tax in the Senate. She's a doer and gets the job done.

That's one reason Tom Delay made her a Deputy Majority Whip during her freshman year in the House.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

Tax reform is desperately needed. The silly Yank liberals have been ripping us off with their insane spending and/or stealing habits and tax laws for entirely too many years...

[pigdog]

Believe me, here are lots of FairTax supporters pulling for her!!!

[musicman]

Just heard Britt Hume say they will be discussing the FL Senate race!!!! (can you guys do a Harrris Ping?????)

[JulieRNR21]

Did you listen to the discussion Hume promised?

Can you give us a summary? And should I miss some sleep to stay up for the replay later tonight?

>>“I’ve had Democrats in the House of Representatives come to me and say ‘You know, we’d really like to take the majority in the U.S. Senate’ — these are Florida Democrats in the U.S. Congress — ‘but you’ll do so much more for us if you’re there. We hope you win,’” Harris told a crowd gathered at the Putnam County Shrine Club. <<

Can anyone confirm these words ? Not Katherine's, but this House Democrat(s) ?

I hate to be a pessimist here, but this sounds like wishful thinking .

I saw that Brit Hume piece -

His review of the Florida race for Senate places Nelson as the eventual winner .

That segment of his show basically stated that Katherine was not a good candidate to defeat Senator Bill Nelson .

The show went on to metion other contenders for the GOP nomination, but that they had little or no name recognition,
but neither did they have Rep Katherine Harris's high negatives . .

If anyone is interested, the piece on Katherine Harris that was on Brit Hume's Special Report can be viewed at foxnews.com. Scroll down a bit. You'll see "Politics Features" on the left, and just underneath it, a picture of Katherine Harris, with a link to the video.

And yes...those who are dedicated to Katherine Harris "tight sweater images" will be delighted.

I know that she has at least one Primary opponent but, forgive my ignorance, I don't know who it is. Can you help me out here?

She has three primary opponents:

Peter Monroe: http://monroeforsenate.com/

Will McBride: http://www.mcbrideforsenate.com/

LeRoy Collins: http://www.leroycollins.org/

[Happy Valley Dude]

McBride (not the one in 2002) is her main opponent. The other two are Democrats running as Republicans.

When did Peter Monroe switch parties and become a Republican?

How about that! A good article on Katherine Harris. Glad to see it; I'm for her.

[JulieRNR21]

Thanks for your support of Congresswoman Harris!

[JulieRNR21]

Sent you Freepmail.....

I would love to see her elected as Florida's senator. Neither I nor my wife can fathom why the polls say she is unpopular in the state as compared to Nelson.

[JulieRNR21]

The only poll that counts is on Election Day 2006.

The FL grassroots are behind Harris and I believe they can achieve victory as they did in 2000 & 2004.

One Jill in a Jeep!

Anyone remember the WW2 movie "Four Jills in a Jeep?"

The film was based on a USO tour overseas by troop entertainers Mitzi Mayfair, Carol Landis, Kay Francis and Martha Raye. Four very patriotic Jills.

One very patriotic Jill is our gal Katherine Harris. A great supporter of the U. S. military!
