Good. Glad to hear it.

At the very least, Bense's candidacy may force Harris to campaign smarter and try harder to avoid the stumbles she's made so far.

Somebody's slipping

Hearing he has met with major donors 'recently' and will be in the race before the deadline on Friday. Announcement scheduled for early this week was moved back for a reason but it will happen.

Maybe some real competition to Harris will emerge by mid-November.

came the same day Gov. Jeb Bush told reporters Harris cannot defeat Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in November.

I'm not a close observer of Florida Republican politics, but is it common for them to stab each other in the back?

My understanding is that they HOPED that Harris would have listened to reason and bowed out gracefully. She should quit tomorrow, but word is she wont. She is going to force the GOP to have to defeat her, when it is so unnecessary. The GOP would be eternally grateful if she just threw in the towel.

I wonder how good Bense would look like on a horse?

Like a winner. Breasts are no indicator of electoral success. If they were, Harris would be ahead in the polls.

Harris'campaign is toast. It's the classoc case of being dead but not buried, that will come on election day. She is the worst candidate I've ever seen or heard. It's like watching a quasi-intelligent Paris Hilton speak the words ''tripingly on the tongue'' that someone else put down on paper but about the substance of which Ms. Harris hasn't a clue. She hapless, hopeless and out gunned in the brain and articulation departments.

There is no need for that. We can treat Harris with the respect she deserves. She is out front helping her party to victory in most cases, and should not be slimed over not being the best available candidate. In the future, if she stays in the House and becomes more seasoned and experienced, she will continue to help her party. We can be thankful and appreciative of her contributions and not run her down.

No back-stabbing at all. Just like a coach, Jeb wants to see someone who can win, go for it.

No politician in this stated is "owed" this nomination.
