Unfortunately, it looks like we will run the one candidate that Nelson has a good chance to beat. Katherine Harris's ego may well cost us this seat, and it should have been a gimme.
Your sentiments mirror mine.
Seems like ambition is getting in the way of good sense, IMHO.
Of course, if Gallagher says he won't run for the Senate, then can't blame Harris I guess for giving it a go. Gallagher could beat Nelson, but I don't think Gallagher can beat Crist for governor.
I don't think Harris has a chance against Nelson. Somebody mentioned that she had been elected to Sec. of State office, but that was pre 2000 election fiasco, I don't think she can win a statewide election at this point anyway.
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.

It may very well be ego, but if noone else that stands a better/good shot at winning runs, what choice do we have?
