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.

BULL CRAP! You've got to be kidding me! Okay folks, bookmark this threat. Katherine Harris beats Bill Nelson and my clothes come off at high noon on Dale Mabry.
Woo Hoo! Take that naysayers.
Bookmarked :)
Are you male or female?
Well it's a push-poll but the MSM does it all the time. :-)
The picture of her on the horse did it.
I hesitate to ask but, who is Dale Mabry?
It's not a poll. A straw poll is not a poll.
Watch how fast the Party runs back to her if this is truly the case. Pathetic concerning the Republican Party, but I'm glad for Rep. Harris!
I love how everybody is counting her out but I think the MSM and everybody will be in for a bit of a shock on election night. I still say the GOP holds even or could pick up a seat or two after all is said and done in the House & Senate.
You're right.
These "Politics in the Park" polls aren't push polls, but they aren't exactly scientific, either. Whoever shows up to drink the lemonade gets to vote.
Dale Mabry is a major highway in the Tampa area.
LOLOL! Good one.
It's a highway.
A straw poll is about as valid as if you took a poll of FR members on who they'd vote for.
Or the KoolAid....
here...."poll" this
Like our President, we are constantly "misunderestimated" !!
