Ping to a Harris story that isn't a hit piece!
This woman is my hero..If I could vote for her she would get my vote..Send someone to Washington that can and will make a difference..And I love her smile and her inner beauty..
Looks can be deceiving, specialist.
Katherine Harris is the Joe Lieberman of the Republican party. She is a dedicated conservative who was a key to bringing down the Democrat's efforts to overthrow the election of Bush in 2000.
In Lieberman's case, although he is a dedicated liberal who has voted the straight party line on social issues he has supported the war on terrorism, a no, no among Democrat inner circles. What has Harris done that has turned her party against her?
The answer to that question might explain why Republicans are willing to see Nelson, a leftist, win again in Florida.
Anyone?
Yet the first comment by the newbie poster of the thread made it into one.
If she were really putting her party first, she'd bow out of the race (she should've before the filing deadline) to give LeRoy Collins a chance. Florida wants to vote GOP, just not her.
GOP, Katherine Harris and "Loyalty Down"....

Why would the liberal Miami Herald run a decent piece on Harris? Think about it. They now want Harris to win the primary because they think that will help Nelson win easier in November.
I don't know if it's only moderate GOP'ers who have a problem with Harris' candidacy. I suspect that there are a fair number of conservatives who haven't warmed up to her.
I don't see the problem as being an idelogical split within the party - but rather a split between those of us who think she's not ready for primetime and those who'd like to have her canonized.
That's quite a piece of horseflesh.
Could well be. Then again, maybe they checked the temp of the local waters and decided not to risk losing more readership. I don't know what the motivations might be but a change in tactics is always worth noting. Nevertheless, Lieberman is now trouncing Lamont in CT so to the Miami Herald I say, be careful what you ask for.
I would sincerely hope it isn't because she uses too much makeup.
Because beating incumbents in the Senate, from Florida, has always been a breeze? This is never easy -- especially in Florida. With your allies in the media working hard to depict your liberal track record as being moderate, the task becomes even more daunting - with or without the support of your party. You're just plain wrong here.
Signed up this week to remind us how the media excoriated KH for following the law in 2000? What's your agenda n00b? How do you feel about cats?
Having said that, at some point she will be required to cut her losses and wait for a better day. I think that time is probably now.
I stopped contributing to the RNC and have donated more money to the Harris campaign this year than to anyone I have ever supported.
Because this is from the Onion and it is not based in reality.
