I guess from his only claim to fame, being an astronaut.

Nelson is not an astronaut who went through the traditional astronaut training. He was a sitting congress critter when he went for a gimmick ride on a space shuttle--at the cost of bumping a real astronaut from the mission.

You're welcome!

Glad you're getting to see it. If voters will just compare and contrast without the influence of the media distortion, Harris has to be their candidate.

Let us know what you think.

If voters will make their choice from this debate, Katherine will win in a landslide.

"--at the cost of bumping a real astronaut from the mission."

For emphasis.

LOL--the NY Times is represented on the panel. That helps to explain why the questioners have 30 seconds to state their position and work a question into their opinions.

The format was definitely favorable to the panel.

Uhh, you don't get it. At this point, Harris would have to come off better then Reagan and Nelson would have to admit to child molestation to lose.

Harris merely winning the debate wouldn't do anything.

I don't live in Florida.

If I did, I'd either vote for Harris knowing she's going to lose anyway, or vote third party. While she may have the right beliefs, she's proven herself to be dangerously inept and a total control freak. Not to mention egotistical. She had a nice little safe House seat carved out just for her as a reward for her good deed in 2000, and she's not only lost us the Senate seat, she's put her House seat in danger.

Nelson looks very thin and I believe he has early Dementia. He is slow,grasping for words and keeps reverting back to his Florida Cracker accent. He is clearly gaunt looking,and shows to me a strange faraway look like he has a problem focusing,seeing. Nelson and Bill Mcollum were at Boys State together and were Neighbors. Bill Mccollum says that he actually slept under Nelson's Mother's Piano. Lately Nelson is really drawling his accent and gives me an uncomfortable feeling that the Dems are putting him up there to slide through hoping to win the Governor's Mansion back so that he could quit for Health reasons and they would appoint someone else. His ads are awful IMHO,he sounds like a wooden Dummy,and talks nonsense.

Wait a minute here...what happened to all this GET OUT, GET OUT AND VOTE REPUBLICAN! stuff huh? Voting over broken glass to keep the Dims out of power? Shouldn't the same hold true for Harris?

FR is filled with effing hypocrites, enough said.

I said I'd most likely vote for her. But there is a rather large difference between, say, Harris and DeWine.

DeWine has a chance of winning. Harris doesn't.

Well, bust my buttons, who knew?

What are you hoping to accomplish by describing your MSM interpretations of bashing Katherine Harris? Oh--and tell me one single congress critter who isn't egotistical since 1776.

DeWine is a RINO and he's STILL locked in a tight race.

At least if Harris goes down she'll go down on principle and without the aid of the stupid RNC who has backstabbed her.

Besides, the fact that Harris "doesn't stand a chance" is irrelevant. We're supposed to crawl through broken glass and vote Republican, remember?

Like I said, there's a huge double standard here. RINOs should be supported but real conservatives get thrown under the bus.

Maybe not to you. But as I've pointed out before, you don't live in the real world. You live in the world that you want it to be. I live in the world as it really exists.

It's relevant in the real world, just not in your dream world.

We're supposed to crawl through broken glass and vote Republican, remember?

I never said that, ever, but the answer is yes, when they actually have a chance at winning.

When they don't, what difference does it make? I don't really care if conservatives vote for the R candidate who's running against The Swimmer, because unfortunately, Teddy Kennedy is going to win nomatter what. I can't imagine why you wouldn't vote for him, but I don't really care if you do, because he has no chance of winning.

And even I'm not 100%. I wouldn't attack someone who refuses to vote for Chafee. I'd probably vote for him. Probably. But I might regret it later.

Like I said, there's a huge double standard here. RINOs should be supported but real conservatives get thrown under the bus.

There is no double standard. The standard is 'reality', something you have a problem with.

And even if you were right, which you aren't, it certainly doesn't apply to me. I encouraged moderate R's to vote for Tom Coburn in spite of some positions they might not agree with, (I supported Coburn since before his primary. Although I later thought some of his rhetoric was extreme and unnecessary, I still like and admire him for the most part.) and I've done the same for hard R's on people like DeWine.

Again, it's about reality. About the world as it is, not as we'd like it to be.

Lots. You're just projecting. Mike Pence is a very humble man. The kind of man we need more of in congress.

One day, when you grow up, you might understand how wrong you are.

I think the name of the perfume sums up your problem exactly.

Your love of Harris, or your assessment of her ability to win, is clouded by your obsession with her. It's not based on reality.

There's a movie about this. Check it out, it's pretty good:

Problem is, at the end of the movie, the girl dies and Jimmy seems on his way to going nuts again.
