I wouln't vote for Harris because she is tainted by speculation and innuendo from the 2000 election. Regardless if she did or did not do anything unethical, the perception that she may have or could have would haunt her in Congress.

If she cares more about the Republican party and less about her own personal needs and desires, she would stay out of the Senate race, which would give either Crist or Gallagher a better chance of winning the seat.

So you wouldn't vote for any Republican who has been the subject of speculation and innuendo? She did her job according to the constitution of the state of Florida. What Harris did or didn't do as Secretary of State would have no bearing on her effectiveness as a senator.

I think Harris's numbers will improve once she gets back out on the statewide campaign trail. Some people -- not just liberals either -- are clearly turned off by her but the same was the case with Hillary in New York and she was able to work that off.

Still, it would be a lot easier if Crist and Gallagher were our standardbearers for the two races.

I'm curious. Would you advocate closing the prison camp at Gitmo because it is tainted by speculation and innuendo? Would you close it even if the marines haven't done anything unethical simply due to the perception that they may have haunts the US?

So I guess you voted for Al Gore and John Kerry, then? I mean, George W. Bush was tainted by speculation and innuendo regarding cocaine and a DWI during the 2000 election.

"I wouldn't vote for Harris because she is tainted by speculation and innuendo from the 2000 election."

Is it that you wouldn't vote for her, or more that you'd like to see the GOP field another candidate out of fear of high democrat turnout?

I can understand the latter, but not the former.

To say you wouldn't vote for her because she is tainted is like saying you think she is guilty. Do you?
