POLL: Katherine Harris Beats Bill Nelson -- Leads 54% to 45%

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.

So you are saying it is MORE scientific than the Treason Media polls?

OK, we all know how lame this is and how straw polls are meaningless (except for very unusual situations), but just stop for a minute.

Imagine, just for a moment, that the polls in this race are as bogus as the polls before the 2000, 2002 and 2006 elections. Wouldn't it just fry the noodle of everyone in the DNC and the drive by media if she won? And wouldn't it give the RINOs and self appointed inside the beltway "conservative" pundits reason to fear for their continued existence?

Just savor the notion for a moment.

OK, you can now return to reality.... but do not, under any circumstances forget what that moment felt like. Now, carry that notion with you when you go to vote, wherever you are. And no matter the odds, it might just happen, in your district and state and even, God willing, in Florida.

I will state, here and now, based on reports from a fellow Freeper who lives in Foley's old district, that the DBM is wrong about what's going to happen there. I now firmly believe that Negron is going to be the next congressman from that district. That conviction is what started me down this particular train of thought, about Harris and all of the other "done deals" that Chris Matthews and Katie Couric are trying to shove down our throats. I just don't buy it anymore, but it takes us all acting on that notion. Even if it's only to spite them, it's worth it.

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

From your lips to God's ears. Never give up and fight to elect true conservatives everywhere. Katherine Harris is a fighter and worthy to be fought for by the GOP. Screw any GOP leadership who wont support her over this empty suit Dem Nelson.

They hold a similar event in Orlando (should be soon) that really does bring in 'all kinds'...LOL It may be right leaning because it's pulling from the business community and also because Lakeland is rather rural but its probably a fair sampling.

Not to mention the fact that she likely brought a lot of her supporters (such as they are) to the picnic specifically to vote in the poll.

If your a female-under 50 and in great shape, I'll be there with bells on, if I can force myself to leave the Mons.

truth,

I'm of the same exact mindset. All this noise is distracting but it absolutely does not reflect reality. The GOP will not lose either house. My church has a huge GOTV program and have a registration desk set up in the lobby and it's been there for months. About 8000 people a week go thru there.

And in case anyone questions my position as a seer, a visionary, I called in APRIL that no hurricanes would hit Florida in 06! LOL

A straw poll? A poll of those attending an event?

If the result is only this amount the other way 'round, Harris will be lucky

In that pic, doesn't she look like Sue Ellen in the old Dallas series?

A pretty woman.

"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."

Yes, have you noticed the information ops going on in the media, endlessly predicting how Harris is going to fail?
