Alright - then help her raise some serious money - don't just 'rally' around her.
Thanks for supporting KH's campaign with a donation!
I truly believe that if we all get behind her she can win!
And we also need to pray for her campaign!
I think Harris could outraise Nelson by 2 to 1, 3 to 1, or even 5 to 1 and still not be able to get more than 45% of the vote. It remains the candidate who is the problem, and unless Nelson's negatives can be driven up to the level of Osama bin Laden's, she won't be able to win.
No, you do.
She wasn't an underdog in the Congressional contest, and ended up performing far below her GOP predecessor, Dan Miller, getting only the barest minimum base GOP vote despite drastically outspending her Clintonista 'Rat opponent. The problem for her is that she has not run a statewide contest in 8 years. What worked for her (pre-2000) was that she was unknown, and that is no longer the case. Given that she never had the opportunity to effectively gauge support because she couldn't run for a 2nd term as Sec of State in '02, there was no way to tell how well she would've done AFTER being a very known quantity (again, only using the Congressional race as a gauge, it was very poor). Her polling against Nelson, who remains very low-key (and has worked well for him (like a pre-2000 Harris)), has been absolutely abysmal. It's not the polling data that is flawed, because the same polls by the same company show Nelson losing to Jeb by at least 10%. Harris has failed to turn around perceptions and she just needs to cut her losses and run for her House seat again... there are far worse consolation prizes than that.
Thanks for joining the effort to help make KH Senator Harris of Florida!
Wouldn't it be great to see her debating the junior senator from Noo Yark!!
FINALLY!!!!!! I've been saying that she would beat the wooden Indian for months. Welcome aboard all of you experts who were worried that voters would hold 2000 against her.
With 1100 people coming to Florida every day, nobody is coming there to vote Democrat or to vote against Harris.
When the wooden Indian votes against Alito under master Harry's orders, the fun will begin.
I'm sure KH's Campaign Manager Ed Rollins (who orchestrated Ronald Reagan's campaign) will appreciate your advice.
Are you an expert on TN politics as well?
you probably heard that BEN Nelson, D-NE, will vote FOR Alito; BILLNelson (D-FL) will vote AGAINST
I'm sure you will be seeing & hearing more as she intends to visit all areas of FL in her campaign.
"When they came back to try to pay a little bit back, he would talk to them and explain to them that the way to pay him back was they had to make certain in the future that they did this for somebody else, and he wouldn't let them pay him back," she said. "I want to make sure that every day in my life that I help people in their individual lives."
ALARM BELLS! I would ask her what she means by this. I am giving her the benefit of the doubt right now, but I hope during the campaign we get to know whether she's fiscally conservative or liberal. At this point, she's way better for us than Nelson.
Don't shoot the messenger. We ignore the dynamics and facts of the matter at the risk of losing this seat.
BTW, I hope you're not seriously comparing RR to Harris.
And in WA State, even Osama bin Laden couldn't defeat the popular Patty Murray either.
A lot of Americans who defend marriage also vote for liberal candidates.
She still won, didn't she?
Nelson doesn't have to be conservative to win. He makes FL people think that he is conservative. Robert "Bob" Graham did the same thing for years.
I'm not 'shooting the messenger'....just pointing out where you reside.
And I wasn't comparing KH & RR merely stating that Rollins is her Campaign Manager.
BTW KH wants very much to be FL's Conservative Republican Senator.....JEB and his wife (God bless them) want a rest from politics.
Does Harris have any opponents in a primary or is she the gop nominee at this stage?
