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?

I'm only against Harris because she can't win in November. Moderate Republicans decided early on that they don't like her for whatever reason, and I don't see how she wins them over.

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.

I would sincerely hope it isn't because she uses too much makeup.

I think some of the hostility to Mrs. Harris from the GOP is FEAR, fearful little men and women who think the media will attack them for supporting Harris. The Bushes have done nothing to help her after all she did for the Bush family. Also, she is a weak campaigner, is personally unorganized, and a sure loser, and most of the GOP FEARS being associated with losers. Also, people in FL like Nelson because he was an astronaut for a short time. I'd say Nelson wins with 64 percent. Nelson also has the support of the large "anti-life" component in FL.
