You're joking, right?

Nope, just ignorant. I know very little about Katherine Harris, I seem to remember that she helped the Bush cause in the last presidential election Florida debacle. So why doesn't the White House want her to run?

She didn't "help Bush" beyond enforcing the law as was written. She was ravaged by the press for doing this. She was the most prominent figure in the news during the election fiasco, most of the press being very negative.

In the political sense, she's the equivalent of Hillary on the right as far as being polarizing (unfairly so, I will add, but it's still a fact). Her candidacy could severely damage the President's chances of carrying Florida, and without it, he's probably toast.
