Harris' Senate campaign 'imploding'

All women I know ride horses in T-shirts and jeans. It's SOP for males and females. I mean, what else would you ride in on a warm day?

And no, she looks perfectly normal and not the least bit slutty.

[tiredoflaundry]

There is nothing "slutty" about that picture. Katherine looks beautiful.

Every time I hear her opposition use that term to describe her, I know she will win because of how low her opponents feel they need to go. If that's all the have, they have got nothing!

[Dashing Dasher]

TOL...

Chant wasn't calling her a slut - she was calling PaulaB a slut. Paula is used to it. Don't worry!

[Joe Brower]

[peacebaby]

Did someone say "slut?"

doo too doo... IPW TO THE RESCUE!

I like Harris. She's brainy, gutsy, and very attractive.

Could you just imagine Hillary on that horse? Or Nancy Pelosa? Barbara Boxer?

[Chanticleer]

ROFL -- PaulaB is a southern sweetheart. I'd never call her anything but fine.

I can understand people having differences of opinion on Katherine Harris's chances of winning -- but to object to her riding a horse in a Florida campaign or to say that she dresses like a slut -- ridiculous!

[HOTTIEBOY]

Don't waste bandwidth arguing with Kjobs, Chanti. You know as well as everyone else that she does not look bad.

What you are dealing with is someone who

a) Doesn't like Katherine for some reason or another
b) Is the founding member of Penelope Prunes Snob Squad
c) Is jealous of any woman who looks good in jeans and a t-shirt

[tiredoflaundry]

Chant, May I borrow the Gator's graphic! Pretty please!

[Chanticleer]

Absolutely! It's a Smiley Central one -- I have no creative bones in my body.

Here's the best closeup photo I could fine of KH at the NRA Convention in 2001 when she was still FL Secretary of State.

She has an A+ rating from the NRA and is a consistent supporter of gun rights unlike Nelson.

Here's another photo from that NRA Convention:

LOL ! Thanks!

There's no denying that Katherine Harris is a woman of great beauty. But so is Sharon Stone. Would you support Sharon Stone if she ran for the Senate?

[longtermmemmory]

What do people want her to wear?!

Please!

I do not trust any political woman who wears the dyke-in-denial thunder thighs pants suit uniform. (see hitlary)

I much prefer a person who is comfortable in her own skin and able to dress like a human being than what some others advocate as "appropriate".

If she has to NOT wear jeans to prove she is smart, then she is not so smart after all. (after all she has that harvard degree strike against her.)

LOL!! Jeb is overrated in Florida?? LOL!!

We would vote Jeb in as King if we could!

Sorry that we can't keep him in the same way that massholes keep kenny and butt boy kerry, but that is the way the laws are written in this Red State.

As for Tommy, he isn't running and thats that.

The reason that all the other potential candidates, that certain RINOs and media fans here froth on about, will not run against Nelson, is that it is too hard, and too iffy.

Nelson is certainly vunerable, but he is not weak either, by any means.

It would take a person of rather uncommon character to run against, and defeat him, when the easy thing would be to cut and run for another term in their own seat.

Does no one want such character and real difference from the DC status quo that so many here rant on about?

And those others, that are spoken of by ignorant media servants, have run away to easier pickings.

Now, as far as Jeb is concerned, he is not stupid, and he knows exactly what the future is of any Senator when they run for POTUS.

And he very well may do that in the future, if only to pick up the pieces from the disaster to befall America that also may very well be named Hillary.

especially given those views tearing into real conservatives that I have seen expressed here.

[aberaussie]

The Sentinel in Orlando has an article almost every day saying her campaign is in trouble. I am sick of hearing it. Why don't they post Nelson's record up against Ted Kennedy's and Hillary Clinton's and see who is the farthest left? (Hint: It ain't Ted or Hillary) Nelson has something to worry about running against a real conservative. That is why they have to discredit her from the beginning.

[Maceman]

There's no denying that Katherine Harris is a woman of great beauty. But so is Sharon Stone. Would you support Sharon Stone if she ran for the Senate?

I am not addressing whether or not she is in fact a good candidate. I am simply answering the comment that she looks like a slut on that horseback riding picture. She doesn't.

[JulieRNR21]

Second Amendment supporters support Katherine Harris!

Congresswoman Harris stops for a photo with a supporter at the Gun Show in Orlando!

[floriduh voter]

Jeb's a bad guy underneath the surface. That's all I have to say on the matter.

[peacebaby]

I like her...she held her own during the "chad" onslaught and she's got brains.

[clintonh8r]

I've been saying that for months. Is there any serious chance that he will run?
