It was impressive because of the "dynamics" huh?
It's impressive that a Republican incumbent Senator almost loses election in ALASKA of all places?
Spin however you please, I'm not buying it. If her incumbency was so strong she should have won in a walk in a state, I believe, that went something like over 60% for the President.
Martinez won because G.W.B. and Jeb heavily went to bat for him. Not because of any advantage he brought to the race. If they had done the same for Harris, she'd have likely won. She certainly was no WORSE then Martinez.
But I'm tired of this. you don't like her, that's evident. the Establishment didn't like her either. But apparently a whole lot of Republicans in Florida did.
You think that the Bush brothers had enough political capital to put a shine on a turd like Harris?
They're good - but no one's THAT good.

Yes and no. It is true that the Bush borthers campaigned heavily for Martinez. But Martinez ran behind President Bush in North FL. Martinez winning Miami-Dade county narrowly, is waht pulled him over the top.
