As long as Katherine Harris uses Bill Nelson's partisn antics and his voting record as the main election issue, any Republican has a shot at winning the Senate race.
Look, I'm so sick of the country-club GOP hacks trying to shove their candidate down the grassroots throat. These people said Harris couldn't win a Congressional seat. Now they don't want her to win a Senate seat. Give the woman a chance!
I don't live in Florida. If I did I would be voting for her in a heartbeat. We need her in the senate.
I recently called Nelson's office to say I want him to support Alito. I asked his staffer if she knew his plan. She said he would wait till after all hearings were completed. Yesterday, I heard him say he wasn't happy with what he heard from Alito re 'land grab'(my words)issue. Nelson is sooo slick. He knows eminent domain is a hot button issue. I'm not sure what Alito said about this but, it's probably something Katherine's people should look into.
I heard Katherine speak at a Pinellas Co Rep Club mtg. She was terrific... knowledgeable, confident, personable. I've just written my second $50 ck for her campaign. We need to help her defeat Nelson!
I've never been anywhere near a country club.
Nominating a carnival sideshow clown for the Senate isn't going to win this race.
Anything is possible. She just might beat Nelson. And I will donate to her campaign to see that it happens.

Unfortunately, it is not that simple !
A mere negative campaign against Nelson will not work !
It might even backfire !
Nelson's voting record in Congress is mostly centrist and populist, not Liberal !
It all boils down to the grass-roots.
If the establishment hacks force Harris to withdraw, they'll stay home in droves.
And calling Harris a "carnival sideshow clown" is going too far. This is verbatim talking points from Dems from the 2000 election. Are you going to say she looks like Cruella de Ville next?
I just made a donation. Go Katherine Go!!!

Where do you get you perceptions from ?
That partisan A$$H@LE Begala, latenight comdedians, or the smear mechants/opportunists at SNL .
You reveal yourself more and more to be a Puke Yorker !
More and more, I wish that vile megalopolis would get nuked off this planet, and I don't care by whom !
Are you assuming Nelson is centrist or have you actually looked up his record?
I heard his voting record was left of Schumer and Clinton...now, that would not quite be centrist.
ooooo, Cost......can you please be more wish specific ...something like, wish "some parts or some people in the vile megalopolis would be nuked off the planet".
I have wonderful Republican/conservative family members in that megalopolis.... LOL.

Yes I have !
You can Google it youself; Bill Nelson: voting record .
He is Liberal on some issues like abortion, but centrist on most others . .
I'm saying that too many people view her that way. Stuff like that make it difficult to win. Just remember, "I told you so."
Voting to allow 3rd term abortions is a BIG 'no-no' in this state. His vote and position on the Estate Tax is a negative also.
I don't live in NY, Einstein.
...and actually NY is a wonderful City..it's just that a lot of lib people have given it a bad rep...maybe we can give them all an incentive to move to Venezuela and elect ole Harry Belafonte Pres.

Okay, Manhatten :-)
But really, NYC has alot of 'bad karma' comming its' way .
I would tell your friends to move from The Big Apple .
It is rotten to its' core, despite the reforms of Giuliani .
I personally see NYC as doing much evil to American values .
I say the same about Hollywood . . .
