Martinez good, Harris not as good but not necessarily bad, others okay

*Ping*!

*Great* news that Harris is not (Yet) running.

I have mixed feelings about Martinez because I would rather send up a more seasoned Politician like Webster or Byrd.

Y'all were on the last Florida thread, so here's another.

While I like Harris, I think she'd be too polarizing for a statewide bid.. plus, she was just elected to the House... Perhaps '06 against Bill Nelson would be better timing for her...

Mel Martinez has great credentials. Before being appointed to his current post, he served on the Orange County Board of Commissioners. But if he truly doesn't want to be a Senator, then he shouldn't run. I'm still for Daniel Webster, despite his dissapointing fundraising totals.

The winner of the GOP primary still remains unclear.

WOW! Johnny! What a great day this is! Krolicki and Martinez considering Senate runs! It looks like we may have two strong nominees running in these two seats I was worrying about recently. Now, we just have to coax Asa Hutchinson to run in Arkansas, John Thune in South Dakota, the AG in North Dakota, and Bill Jones in California. I think we have good candidates in the other races, and besides, the impact of the Presidential race cannot be overstated.

I'm glad Harris decided to sit this one out. She'll do much better against Bill Nelson in 2006, once she's gotten some experience.

Harris is bad - her freshman accomplishment was finding an innovative way to spend taxpayers money ... No Thanks!

Is Martinez a Conservative???

I'm hoping for Katharine Harris just because the libs will turn purple at the thought of her being an equal to Hillary Clinton.

[Impy]

I think he's the strongest possible candidate.
