BINGO, and thank you for your input!
IMO, they will have to to throw their (belated) support, or run the risk of becoming aliened from the GOTV voters. - Not a reasonable risk. - Again, IMO.
I don't have Presidential election results by Congressional District. In 2004, Bush/Harris won Sarasota, Manatee, and Hardee counties by 54%/53%, 56%/56%, and 70%/70%, respectively. DeSoto Co. data not available.
---"...virtually every U.S. citizen has imagined the possibility of becoming President of the United States at one time or another..."
That is neither here nor there. I will definitively state right now that I will not be running for president in the next three elections. Get KH to say the same.
A quiet whisper, by the way, is one person either spreading a rumor or telling a secret. A quiet murmur involves more people either spreading that rumor or telling that secret.
It's all moot. Tuesday night we'll find out if Nelson has been reelected, or if McBride wins and the GOP has a chance.
Then she can declare for 2008 - unless Bush conspires against her.
Or a tree blocks people from attending her presidential rally.
Or some non-Christians show up.
Who are you talking about???
FL Freepers:Talk about a campaign blunder....Last May, 33 year old immigration attorney Will McBride marched with the pro-amnesty 'Immigrants United for Freedom' (IUF) only two weeks before deciding or being 'encouraged' to file for the Senate race.
On August 12, the IUF participated with A.N.S.W.E.R., CODE PINK, Muslims Students Association & 'World Can't Wait', etc. in an anti-war on terror and anti-Israel Rally in Orlando, FL. Go here to see IUF listed among sponsors & speakers.

LOL, look at all the failures especially Presidential candidate #4 in line, even the commies want to be around the President!
Typical, run of the mill talking points spoon-fed to McBride from some party hack who hit F12 somewhere in the GOP basement.
Even the near sighted Mr. MacGoo could testify to the fact that Rep. Harris is not a Beltway Boy, or any other boy. She is a gutsy Lady of courage, who stands by her convictions, regardless of the odds.
when she is elected to the US Senate, the Republican side of the Senate will have it's first spine.
Golly!
I guess you are what passes for a thoughtful KH supporter.
And like KH, you are a satire of a republican.
Your writings appear fairly well considered. As for that cross you mentioned, I believe you severely underestimate the RNC's ability to destroy as well as create candidates. From speaking to lower members of her existing staff, it is quite clear to me that many left under threat from the GOP that if they continued their efforts they could kiss their political careers goodbye, a threat which many currently on board have defied, to their credit.
And lets us not forget the severe damage done to her public image by a hateful leftmedia that would simply love to see her dead. Six years of character assassination has a very powerful cumulative effect, even on people who like her. Funny how that words.
Sincerely believing this from all I have heard, read and personally observed, one thing that bugs me the most is that, since the RNC and, consequently, the Florida GOP, has actively worked to undermine her campaign from the get-go, the least they could have done is have a couple of viable candidates in the wings to replace her and guarantee a Republican winning over Nelson, something they have obviously not done with the few sorry, no-name offerings they have coughed up at the last minute. Pathetic, if you ask me.
Last year the rumors were flying that retired army general Tommy Franks might have been in the running. Now THAT would have made a lot more sense.
As it is, the GOP has done more to ensure Nelson continuing his Senate career more than anything the DNC could have done. What are your opinions on that?
So Monroe wants to tax me through higher insurance premiums for the privilege of allowing him to live in Florida? Would he agree to higher insurance rates for him to allow people in California affordable earthquake insurance?
I heard that things are going so bad that even the horse quit her campaign.
I hear her campaign is going quite well, despite the best efforts of the party rulers who have been supporting her opponents from the get go.
