---"Early this week, Bush campaigned with a host of high-profile Republicans, including Charlie Crist, the party's gubernatorial nominee, and Tom Lee, its choice for chief financial officer. Harris was not invited."---
Ouch.
That one stings.
It's worth a visit from the Bush brothers to show support for anyone facing Nelson - even if the odds are astronomical. The fact that they don't really seem to be acknowledging that there is a Senate race in Florida is a bit disheartening.
I think they should at least make one appearance for her. I wouldn't count on it, though. Despite the hopes that the Florida and national GOP would start flooding the campaign with support no matter who won, only the endorsements of the primary opponents have been forthcoming so far.
I supported McBride, but it is time to focus on Nelson here. It doesn't help an already long-shot race when the President and/or Governor keep going out of their ways to help Crist and company, while not even inviting Katherine Harris.
Sadly, I now find myself pretty openly rooting for Lincoln Chafee over Steve Laffey. It seems that the national GOP isn't bluffing when they threaten to let unfavored candidates wither on the vine this election season. They must really feel threatened even more than they indicate.
I hope that Karl Rove still has a trick up his sleeve somewhere. But for crying out loud, stop lopping off the heads of Conservative candidates this year.
Sheesh!

I've read very little about Laffey that makes me want to support him over Chafee.

The fact that they don't really seem to be acknowledging that there is a Senate race in Florida is a bit disheartening. But hardly surprising. The President has refused to endorse Schlesinger, the Republican nominee in Connecticut.
