Way to control the message. Oh well, maybe we'll win NJ.

[RNO1]

This information was posted on another thread....Not the same media outlet but the same information....Just more of the same....My support is still solid for her...

[RexBeach]

I reckon Ed Rollins is off the Katherine Harris Christmas card list, ay?

[FRONTLINER]

The Harris campaign is damaged beyond repair .There is still time to nominate a candidate that can win in November .

[The Old Hoosier]

Oh, the pain! Someone stop the pain!

[MplsSteve]

Katherine Harris PING!

[napscoordinator]

Truthfully I am more interested in her health now. How did her medical appointment go on Monday? Hopefully she is fine. I was surprised not to see anything on that yet. It is sad that her campaign is done, but we should still care personally for her.

[Unicorn]

I'm voting for Harris hows that.

[The Old Hoosier]

I hear she might have another voter somewhere in Fla., too.

Exactly what did Katherine Harris do to anger the powers that be? She is a conservative, but hardly a fire eater like Tom Tancredo or strongly ideological like Ron Paul. Is it because she has become a big time target of liberal abuse and thus too big a liability? (The DU term for her is Cruella DeVille.) Is it because of her own alleged ineptness in managing her Senatorial campaign? Pragmatically speaking, the Florida U.S. Senate race looks like a solid Democratic win. The GOP should focus on helping struggling incumbents like Santorum in Pennsylvania and possibly taking down weaker Democratic opponents.

Former campaign consultant Ed Rollins, who recently was interviewed by Department of Justice investigators, said Tuesday that Harris is a subject of the investigation.

"There's no question they're focusing on her," he said.

Harris Responds In a news release Tuesday, Harris countered, "The Department of Justice has informed me that I am not a target of the investigation concerning Mitchell Wade."

They both appear to be using words in their technical senses. Under the internal rules of the Department of Justice, anyone being investigated is either a "target," a "subject" or a "witness." A "target" is someone the prosecutor already intends to indict; a "witness" is someone the prosecutor believes did nothing wrong, but merely has evidence the prosecutor wants to use against someone else; and a "subject" is someone as to whom the prosecutor hasn't made his mind up yet-- they're not a target yet, but they might wind up as one as the investigation continues. So when Rollins says that Harris is a "subject," and she says she's not a "target," she's not really denying what he said.

I just spotted Katherine a little while ago in the U.S House coverage on cspan. Glad to see she's up and about.

This is what Katherine Harris considers good news. For conservatives who are serious about winning elections, good news from Katherine Harris would be her withdraw from the race, but it's not going to happen.

Nothing going on in Indiana? I'll bet your wife beats your ass
too.

I don't think she could even win the primary. I suspect in 2007, Katherine will be the TV talking head of some conservative think tank or even host her own MSNBC cable show, where she will bash Republicans for being RINOS.

Since signing on FR, I have learned a lot about politics. After reading many informative threads here, my personal politics have matured. When I first signed up here, I was a solid conservative. Jesse Helms was my idea of the perfect candidate. Now I am conservative who believes in welcoming people of various backgrounds into the GOP. Diversity only serves to strenghtened the Conservative Movement as well as society.

Since when do you think that YOUR personal politics have matured???

[aberaussie]

I would like to know the answer to this as well. She seems to be a solid conservative. Why is it that the GOP is so against supporting her?

[The Old Hoosier]

Uh, not very topical.

But it's probably the best argument in favor of Katherine Harris.
