that she is unelectable state-wide

Get some new talking points.

How did she become Secretary of State of FL, Congresswoman, and won the GOP Senate primary then if she's "unelectable."

She's 26 points behind — that's a landslide, and then some.

It's also an indicator of unelectability.

Also elected to the Florida legislature.

Wasn't her district very Republican? If the guys in Foley's district couldn't have someone normal beat him, how hard could it have been for Harris to get her seat? She was elected statewide before the 2000 election mess which almost all Democrats still think they won.

I find it hard to believe anybody puts any credibility into these polls. They're just another TOOL of the libs.

Well, since Florida has some 25 Congressional districts, her victory as a Congresswoman does nothing to show that she has state-wide appeal. Her district isn't exactly a challenging one for a GOP candidate to win.

Plus, winning a GOP primary doesn't mean that you can win in a general election -- just ask Lamont how his primary victory is carrying over to the general election. Candidates who don't stand a chance constantly win party primaries.

Finally, Secretary of State is one of those down-ticket positions that most voters pay don't really pay any attention to. Besides, she's running against an incumbent who has won state-wide in highly visible job. So only one of your three examples actually has any impact upon her being electable state-wide.
