Harris 'Tree' Aide Quits (Another Katherine Harris aide quits)
Palm Beach Post Blog ^ | August 20, 2006 | Larry Lipman

Posted on 08/20/2006 8:18:03 PM PDT by lauriehelds

Metzler, who had been the campaign’s political director, confirmed late Sunday that he quit the campaign, but declined further comment.

“I left her campaign and I wished her well,” Metzler said.

He said the tree incident was “not necessarily” the reason for his quitting. He hung up when asked for further reasons.

The tree incident occurred Thursday when Harris blamed the paltry turnout at a campaign rally at Orlando Executive Airport on the need to move the event because a tree had damaged the hanger in which the rally was originally scheduled. Airport officials later said no tree fell on a hanger and the rally was held in the hanger where it had been scheduled.

Watching Katherine Harris's campaign is like having a beautiful, colorful favorite aunt who always brings joy and character to family events and watching her waste away from Alzeimer's Disease.

This is nothing less than a tragedy.

The single worst political campaign in American History.

It still doesn't hold a candle to McGovern in 1972 or Mondale in 1984, but it's certainly the worst run GOP campaign ever.

And here we all thought that Alan Keyes would forever hold that title.....

Dewey managing to lose a seemingly unlosable election in 1948 was pretty bad too.

The Harris campaign is a disaster

Lemme see. You've been here at FR less than a year.

You don't like Elizabeth Dole. You don't like Rudi Giulianni. You don't like Katherine Harris.

Got it.

Guess I should be one of those who sticks my head in the sand and says all is well. All is well with border policy. The federal budget is just peachy. The Harris campaign has been run well. Dole has done a great job recruiting candidates. Would that please you and the other bots?

She needs another press release about her trust fund.

First she was going to dip into her inheritance.
Then, she wasn't going to dip into her inheritance.

I haven't heard what she's going to do with her idle riches in a long time.
Call me undecided until she tells me more about her family's wealth.

Lots of people post here. I wouldn't consider them all FReepers.

You might want to look into this poster more before you tag team with him again.

She's cuckoo. Why oh why wasn't she content being a Republican Congressman? Todd Schnitt has a conservative Florida talk show and exposed her kookiness 3 months ago

Now we read MSM reports about her.

This constant drum beating by the Harris supporters...that the MSM is making all this up in an effort to drive her ratings down...is just absolutely ridiculous. It demonstrates to me that the Harris supporters are just as delusional as Harris herself.

The MSM is reporting that her campaign aides and staff have been leaving in droves...is this false? NO. Then how can you haggle with these accurate facts.

Similarly, she said, and is not denying that she said the comment about the tree. Apparently, once again, the MSM has accurately reported the facts.

The Harris campaign is a train wreck, and I, for one, can't stop following it because every week something wacky happens. I have to admit...it is entertaining as hell.

I tell you what. You send that money to me instead, and I promise KH will have JUST AS MUCH chance of getting elected to Senate.

IOW, zero.
