Rep. Katherine Harris Lent $250,000 To Her Sagging Senate Bid In FL
The Hill ^ | January 11, 2005 | Peter Savodnik

“If she has any pride, she’ll be out in a month,” said a Republican with close ties to Harris campaign officials. “If she cares about her party, she’ll be out in a month. Otherwise, the Senatorial Committee won’t do a thing and she’ll get beat by 15 points.”

She's low on cash. That's all.

Not only is the writing on the wall for Katherine Harris, it's written in Glow-In-The-Dark paint. I just hope she reads it before it's too late for anyone to unseat Bill Nelson.

I agree. Things might be a lot different (scarier than hell) had she not held her ground. What is up ? She should be the front runner in any contest, we owe her that much.

This is not a good sign, that's for sure. I genuinely feel bad for her... :-(

She's posting lethal negative ratings. She's better-known than the Senator she's running against, yet trails by wide margins.

The smear campaign against her in 2000 worked and she's been unable to overcome the effects of it.

You're right that the Democrats defamation of her is completely unfair. But if she seeks reelection, she has a safe House seat and the possibility of an influential committee assignment. That's not such a terrible thing.

Someone please post the pics on her horse!
After looking at Kennedy all week, I need a diversion.

I like her.

However, she's gutsy and willing to fight for what's right. That might not sit too well with some folks...

Nothing illegal in that. I can think of safer investments though.

I don't think Katherine Harris has a chance against Bill Nelson. Hopefully, the GOP will come out with someone stronger. Is Jeb interested?

Jeb Bush is tired of public life and won't run.

Possible replacement candidates are RINO Congressman Mark Foley, Congressman Dave Weldon, state House Speaker Allen Bense, and longtime state Senator Daniel Webster.

I have nothing against this brave woman, but Jeb Bush is the ticket. He would slaughter that empty suit piece of Democrat vermin, Bill Nelson, that passes for a human being.

Hopefully, she'll announce her withdraw from the race by February.

At the end of the third quarter, Sept. 30, Nelson had $6.5 million on hand, having raised $1.9 million during that time. In contrast, Harris had $470,000, having raised just less than $500,000.

But she does look good on the back of a horse.
