Harris is in it to win it!
I agree with her - she doesn't look anything like Mort or Fred.
Definitely not a Boy!
As we all know, that lie has been parroted endlessly by every sycophant since that time.
She will win the primary. The GOP machine be damned.
She has a man's face...you need to post the horse pic if you want to show she's female.
When Katherine Harris won statewide election for Secretary of State with 54% of the vote, Republicans represented 40% of registered voters.
In the FL 13th Congressional District 2002 and 2004 races, Republicans accounted for 48% and 46% of FL District 13 voters, respectively. Katherine Harris won each election with 55% of the vote.
Ouch! Lol...play nice! ; )
I haven't really made up my mind yet. I'll keep reading these and appreciate all insight on the candidates. Tuesday's coming up...
On the good news, all four have similar platforms.
I wouldn't call it a man's face, but that picture shows she really makes the most of what she has.
Definitely not a boy!
Good Lord, its better than having John McCain as our Senator!
No,Mrs Harris,you're clearly not a Beltway Boy.
If I were still in Florida, I would enthusiastically vote her and support her in any way possible PRECISELY because she is so fiercely independent and has conservative attitudes on the issues that make the most sense (plus she is not a lawyer like two of the others). Funny the article mentioned the GOP chairman of the state saying she can't win as though that statement had any significance whatsoever. I thought party chairmen weren't supposed to meddle in party primaries and undercut their own members. And then who ever heard of candidates calling on their opponents to withdraw from a race for no valid legal or ethical reason?
Damn,you beat me to it! ;-)
Com'on, none of the rivals in the Republican primary have ANYTHING like the face and name recognition of our own Snow White, Katherine Harris. Devoid of almost all official support, her lead in the primary race is still substantial. The Florida Republican party was not serious in mounting opposition to her, else they would have concentrated on only permitting ONE primary opponent, which would have been a rallying point to end her run for the Senate.
But the Florida Republican party dithered around on this matter, and now they are faced with an uncertainty - do they back Katherine Harris enthusiastically after the primary, or do they just surrender any chance of taking this Senate seat? Katherine Harris has ALWAYS kept her eye on what she believes to be the objective of her run for the Senate - put Bill Nelson out of a job, and get him out of the US Senate. All her campaign is directed at countering Bill Nelson, not at her immediate rivals in the primary. I do not believe she has ever mentioned their names, nor has she said one derogatory thing in public about the support she has not gotten from other Republicans. She may be having conversations behind the scenes, which may or may not be rancorous in nature, but few of us are privy to any of them.
I believe in Katherine Harris. Anybody that could withstand the storm that fell upon her in 2000, when she was carrying out the duties of her office in full accordance with the law, has earned my undying admiration.
Collins is Pro-Abortion rights.
McBride is a Personal Injury trial lawyer first, Immigration attorney second, who marched with the leftist group Immigrants United for Freedom two weeks before filing to run for the U.S. Senate race. Endorsed by RTL.
Harris is a solid conservative with the voting record to prove it. She is endorsed by Right to Life, & NRA in the primary race.
Very thoughtful observations. Thanks very much for taking the time to post your analysis.
Thanks for the information--it really shows how messed up the Republican establishment is.
I admire her spunk. I think she'd be a refreshing change!
