I hppe you are right because I agree with your assessment.
I must also renew my complaint that the Republicans are doing a LOUSY job about developing a pipeline of quality candidates. We make so much fun of the RATs and the nine dwarfs fighting amongst themselves. Well, what is going to happen for 2008? It is going to start day one of Bush's next term. I'm afraid the republican senate race for Graham's seat will be the model.
I don't mean to imply we should have an heir-apparent for each office. The idea that it is person x's turn is what gave us Bob Dole. Still, we need to have a leadership plan where we are cycling people through the right experiences to be ready for the next step. Another term or two for KH and she is ready to take on Nelson when he's up for re-election.

She executed the law as she interpreted it. Nothing wrong with that. That's not in dispute.

I'm with you.
Conservatives for a moment should stop being "compaaaaaasionate", and grow a damned backbone.
What she did was legally the right thing to do, and what the Democrats tried to do in Florida was clearly an attempt at America's first coup d'etat. They failed. We won. She won. America won.
No apologies. No wavering. She's good enough for the Senate for me.
And if she is running against something Karl Rove is up promoting, that is even more tasty tabasco in the soup for me. Go for it.

How is "The Bush bots are here...Bush can do no wrong" and someone expressing disappointment that Harris is entering the race have to do with anything?
To: Republican Wildcat
I see. Still, has Bush's popularity in Florida gone down after the last election? If not, wouldn't someone who was perceived to help Bush get elected be a positive?

That's not her?

Cause the white house doesn't want her to run, she is not Hispanic enough.

Think for how the left will bring up (aka attack) her involvement w/ the 2000 election. That argument was made in 2002 and look what happened.

If not, wouldn't someone who was perceived to help Bush get elected be a positive? No, but bringing the news of the election debacle back to the forefront (not only in Florida, but nationwide) would not be a plus...at all. She's perceived by many to have abused her office (a lie, but it's still what's out there) to get Bush in office. That's not a positive, no matter how much people like or dislike Bush.

We did have a plan for 2008. It was Steve Largent and he screwed up the plan by losing last year.

We do have Craig Benson in the 2008 pipe line.

In a Harris-Martinez-McCollum primary (they're the three most likely to compete), I'd go with Harris.
Reason? The Democratic base will be energized by presumtpive nominee Howard Dean. Harris will mobilize our base just as much. Mel Martinez can then take this primary as a dry run for governor to succeed Jeb Bush.

Funny how the statistics don't back you up one bit. Tell those friends/voices in high places they're betting wrong on this fine lady What statistics? References, please, because if they were valid numbers, we would be using them.
There is no though that Katherine is not a fine woman. I have spent enough time with her and her husband to know that. That is not the issue. The issue is wether or not she is the candidate most likely to win the Senate race in Florida, and to what extent she would help or hurt the President's reelection efforts.
She truly is a fine woman. Mel, Bill, Dr. Dave and Dan are all fine men. This is simply not her time. It will come.

We have no idea what kind of senator she would make because we have no idea what kind of congresswoman she is.
However, it is never a good idea to ramp up the opposition and you can count on Harris doing just that, jeopardizing other republicans on the ticket.

That still has nothing to do with that post. Input from the White House is irrelevant for political analysis of this situation.

The statistics show that she actually did better with voters in her congressional district than Bush did when he ran in 2000. That's hardly someone who voters run from.

No, not good at all. I like Harris, but she could not only lose the seat, but bring down Bush in the process.
I'm in the ABH camp in that primary. = Anybody but Harris.
