2004 was not the right time for her to run for the Senate.
Now with more experience in the House she has a good record to run on and can raise the big bucks needed to win!
Actually Crist would beat Harris head-to-head in the primary and performs better in the general according to the polls. Gallagher polls very well too.
Moot point now, as both are going for broke for governor, with Crist starting out ahead.
What a sweet dream it would be to see the woman the Dems vilified and tried to destroy......in the Senate!
That's not necessarily a bad thing. Like Abu Grahb, flogging that pony could actually hurt the democrats.
I've heard them both speak and I personally prefer Gallagher as he comes across more conservative than Crist.
I've heard that Bill Nelson is apparently not going to run for re-election.
Where did you hear that.......that would be big news, indeed!
This is politics. How can you win without turning off more than a few people. Woman has convictions. And as for the picture on the horse, never seen it before... all I can say is... WOW!
Really? From what I've read I've gotten the opposite view -- that Gallagher's more of an establishment don't-rock-the-boat guy and Crist is more of a social conservative.
I live in Alabama, but I am glad to see her run for the senate position. A very intelligent, classy, and attractive woman who will be a very valuable asset in the sentate. NSNR
A former IBM marketing executive and vice president of a commercial real estate firm, Congresswoman Harris earned a Master’s Degree from Harvard University with a specialization in international trade and negotiations, and a Bachelor’s Degree in history from Agnes Scott College. She studied abroad at the University of Madrid and at L’Abri outside Geneva, Switzerland.
I heard Gallagher speak out very clearly on pro-life issues & getting the Bush nominees a vote in the Senate.
Crist is a good guy but he just wasn't as direct as Gallagher.
I wasn't questioning you. Your comments just made me wonder how old she is.
Brit Hume just reported Nelson's response to word that Harris will run for the Senate.
Nelson said that Harris represents the extreme right while he represents the mainstream.
Just like Hillary....Nelson's record in the Senate may not be as 'mainstream' as he pretends. We'll have to check it out!.
The election 2000 trick won't work for the Democrats. They tried it on Jeb in 2002, and he won by double digits. They tried it against Bush in 2004, and we know the result there. I like Harris!
She has my support and vote! Great woman who took on the Dems in 2000 and made the right decision. Just doin' her job!
So much for "mainstream". He's going down, and he knows it.
Deja vu. Bill Nelson departs from his fellow RATs and votes for cloture for janice Rogers Brown.
I'm overjoyed Harris is running. She'll be a great campaigner and a great senator.
I have a hunch Tommy Franks is hanging back this coming election and will run for something in the next presidential election. This would be great as this would help the GOP presidential candidate in Florida immensely.
Hey, I think Jeb 'n George 'n Harris 'n Tommy 'n Mehlman and other Republican leaders have things pretty well thought out for the next two elections.
I'm pleased as punch.
