I still do not see the big problem with Harris. I know she has the baggage from the 2000 election, but she has also proven to be electable state-wide.
Worst case scenario is she loses, and all that effort will have been spent just in holding on to a Senate seat. Other Democratic Senate candidates will be reduced to begging for media attention, and some incumbents could fall by the wayside. They'd win the battle, but lose the war.
I tend to agree. Has there been any polls for a Harris Nelson match-up?
