Yep, it was Katherine Harris. The Sarasota Herald Tribune treated it like it was some prank, and seemed disappointed that the guy didn't succeed in killing her. Frankly, I'm shocked that the writer of this piece didn't work in a half dozen or so gratuitous shots at Harris - I think it's a requirement that everything they write gets in digs at her, even the weather reports and the obituaries. The editors must have been nursing some steaming hangovers or something.

You are 1000% correct. This newspaper takes every opportunity to dig at Harris. They've dropped all pretense of balance or neutrality (imagine just reporting news!). Sarasota County is highly Republican, although Dem voter registration has been gaining lately. Say, perhaps their party can sign up these concrete block throwers......
