TAMPA, FL- Congresswoman Katherine Harris, the Republican candidate for the United States Senate, soundly defeated Bill Nelson this evening by a 54% to 45% margin in the straw poll conducted at the Lakeland Bi-Annual Politics in the Park. The Harris campaign continues to build momentum, engendering tremendous grassroots support throughout the state with a pro-growth, pro-family message that resonates across the political spectrum.

Congresswoman Harris commented, “I appreciate the strong support of a majority of voters who are disillusioned with Bill Nelson’s lack of leadership and his record of voting against Florida’s best interests. I will fight for Florida in the United States Senate.”

The Lakeland Bi-Annual Politics in the Park straw poll illustrates the widespread support that exists for Harris’ consistent message of cutting taxes, eliminating wasteful spending, protecting the institution of marriage and opposing amnesty for illegal citizens. Congresswoman Katherine Harris is the only candidate with a demonstrated record of leadership who will fight for Florida’s values in the U.S. Senate.

Katherine Harris, the Republican Candidate for the United States Senate, currently serves as the Representative for Florida’s 13th Congressional District. After receiving a Masters in Public Policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, she continued a distinguished career in public service to her native state that began in the State Senate and as Florida’s last elected Secretary of State. She resides in Longboat Key with her husband Anders Ebbeson and his 24-year-old daughter, Louise along with the constituents of District thirteen.

Hey, the election will be about turnout.


If the 20 people that participated in the straw poll are the only ones that turn out to vote, Harris will win.

Mark my words, the Republicans pick up seats in the House and Senate.

From your lips to God's ears.

Why is it that I see ads for Nelson on TV constantly, but I haven't seen anything by Harris yet (Tampa Bay area)?

No money.

Quite right, not depressing me at all.

Merely made a tiny pun about my clothes coming off.

That peculiar ''profession'' or activity or occupation or whatever term you prefer, is infested top to bottom with vermin, typically Marxist or at least antiwestern deconstructionists.

And I believe we will both agree that the present-day standard for a ''model's'' figure is decided almost entirely by a homosexual subset of these Marxists, and thus is hardly a generally acceptable standard for any normal population.

Next time, I won't ignore the possibility that someone might take an otherwise inane joke seriously. My apologies.

No apologies needed .

Most supermodels are flakes, like 'Coke-Head' Kate Moss .
Speaking of, that is the type of model that these homosexuals go for; thin, waifish, immature types
(Foley's kind of model ?)

Caution all, caution !

Republicans may lose big this year .
If so, it is highly unlikely, very near impossible that Rep Katherine Harris will capture the U.S. Senate seat away from incumbent Bill Nelson .

Negative campaign adds will not work here .
Accentuate the positive; how Congresswoman Harris is better than Nelson ~

With persistence and diligence - we can get her the U.S. Senate seat she so rightly deserves .

I've been acting as a unofficial campaign advocate and defender of Rep Katherine Harris and her race since September of 2005 - - - - I've gotten the word out, explained her positions and her defended her against many detractors .

If there are thousands of such volunteer contributers to the cause of Rep. Katherine For U.S. Senate, both in Florida and across this great nation, this great democracy - -

then we will win: we conservatives and our dear Katherine -

against the forces that have maligned us and libeled us for years .

It is the will of us honorable Americans that the better person win ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !





GOD BLESS . .

Amazing. By the way, how many votes did President Buchanan receive?
