What's the deal with K. Harris. I'm up north and I even sent her a contribution but she seems to be a pariah of some sort with the GOP.

Here's my take on it and I have felt this way since November, 2004.

What, exactly, has Katherine Harris done to deserve a Senate seat? .......Besides looking hot in a tight T-shirt?

If she had been in some high position in Jeb Bush's administration other than Florida Attorney General, would the average voter even know her from your aunt's pet poodle?

No, they wouldn't.

Katherine Harris is famous simply because she happened to be the Florida Attorney General during the 2004 Presidential election and all she did was simply follow Florida law as was her sworn duty.

Any one of us would have done the same thing. You read what the law says. You follow the law. End of story.

Lionizing Katherine Harris as a Republican heroine as if she had done something spectacular simply plays into the Big Lie of the Democrats that claims that Katherine Harris stole the 2004 election for George W. Bush.

slight correction - she wasn't A.G. She's not a lawyer. She was Secretary of State.

She was the State Secretary....a statewide office that she ran for and won. She has never lost an election.

I'm agnostic on the question of whether Katherine Harris should be our candidate, though I lean against the idea.

However, I must say, there are times (as in 2000) when simply doing the right thing matters a great deal. Some "Republicans" probably would not have.

A good rule of thumb is: When the Rats hate you, you've done something right. Something important.

Now just hold up a second here, I think you are way out of line, dammit.

Looking hot in a tight T-shirt is nothing to sneeze at.

Any honest Republican would admit that we want the SEAT, and in this case Harris or anyone else will suffice if it helps with the majority. Anyone suggesting that Harris is uniquely qualified for the seat is lying.

A better argument is that Nelson doesn't deserve the seat.

So basically she's not all that qualified and there are better candidates. You may be right.

I thought she held up pretty well under some of the most vindictive character assaults I've witnessed, even for RATs. As far as what has she done to deserve to be senator, in my opinion that question could be posed to all our honorable senators and probably 90% would fail the test.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?

Master of typos here ? 2004 , 2004, it was the 2000 Presidential election .

And she was not Attorney General, she was the State's Secretary of State .

Harris put up with a lot of tarring and feathering in refusing to cave into DemonRat and GangsterCrat pressure, especially when their character assassins in the National Mass Media,(especially the New York Press- which has been the Liberal Propaganda machines for the past 70 yrs) went on the attack mode !
Especially with that Monkeyboy Begala - he should be lynched by us Real Americans, along with SerpentHead Carville !
------- St Petersburg Times is owned by the Nuke York Times !

While I admit she looks hot in a 'your mom's slightly younger friend with big knockers' kind of way, but we shouldn't lower the general, dominant threshold for 'hot' for her.
