Katherine Harris' floundering U.S. Senate campaign lost its high-level staff again this week and is groping for a message -- which doesn't surprise Republican insiders who trace the seeds of her trouble to the story of ``Joe's dead intern.''
This wasn't any old Joe.
It was Joe Scarborough, host of the prime-time MSNBC show Scarborough Country and a former Pensacola Republican congressman who was courted last summer by national Republicans to run against Harris. But before he could announce he wouldn't, Harris called major donors and suggested Scarborough would have to answer questions about the strange death of a former staff member in 2001, according to two former high-level Harris staff members, a GOP donor and Scarborough.
''That was the first clue that something wasn't right with Katherine Harris,'' Scarborough told The Miami Herald in a recent interview, noting that a medical examiner found his staff member's death was natural and not the result of foul play.

I'd like to know more about that too.
MNJohnie's track record:
1) INSISTED the Harriet Miers SCOTUS nomination was a "done deal", that she ONLY SHE "can be confirmed by the current Senate" and that he "won't carry the bathwater" for another nominee because that would be a surefire win for the Dems.
2) INSISTED the Dubai ports takeover was a "done deal", that Bush would surely veto any attempt to thrawt it, and that no other company will be found that can assume such authority.
3) MNJohnnie is insisting Katherine Harris will easily win the GOP primary and go on to defeat Nelson in November?
If he says this one is a "done deal", I'm moving the odds of an upset in the primary from "possible" to "likely"
Not sure which is sadder, that a GOP candidate for Senate would resort to smearing an innocent man (and fellow Republican) by implying he is a murderer, or that alleged conservatives would applaud her. Bill Clinton certainly changed politics in this country, and not for the better.
If this story can be confirmed, I am not voting for Harris.
