With poll numbers like the ones I've seen recently, Harris looks like a weak candidate.

No good deed goes unpunished.
Governing by polls and interfering with primaries reminds me of the Bill Clinton adminstration.

Sending the strongest candidate to meet the challenger sounds like good politics to me.

This is not coming from the Harris campaign officials or the candidate herself. Her "backers" (the only individuals the article mentions) should shut up - their commentary makes her look weak, unsupported, etc. They are doing her no favors.

The voters for Toomey, Salier, Cain, Fletcher, et al. are not ammused.
At least in 08 there won't be Senatorial primary treachery

Making it to 60 is not out of the question.

It's unimaginable that the White House folks and the National Republican Senatorial Committee would be so disloyal to Katherine Harris, especially after all she has done for the Bush family and the Republican Party," I'd be careful loosely tossing around comments like this. We wouldn't want people to think that Harris abused her position as Secretary Of State in order to give Bush the win, instead of simply following the law.

There is nothing like a good primary to get a good candidate.

Making it to 60 is not out of the question.So, 60 would include Chaffee and Snowe and McCain. So it really would be 60 conservative votes at all. Maybe the administration should think about finding finding a real replacement for Nelson in Nebraska instead of chosing sides in Florida.
Judging from your tagline, I don't really think we are that far apart.

That's not what I saw. State wide poll in Florida last week had Harris leading ALL Republicans no matter who was listed and only 6 points behind Nelson.

Katherine
is a strong candidate.
I supported her for the House and I will support her Senate run.
I like her.

60 votes means being able to invoke cloture on things like tax reform and social security.
It means the marginilization of the Democrats even more.
And 2006 is probably is the last push to 60 for a long time.
In 2008 we have to defend many more seats, and we may be in a country going through "Bush fatigue"

As for 2006 send a few bucks to Mark Kennedy in Minnesota and tell Liddy Dole to get on the stick and find us a candidate in Nebraska.
