Well, the people of Florida have spoken: its far better to have a low-key, luke-warm, lackluster, middle-of-the-road speaking style and voting record, centrist Democrat Senator who is pro illegal immigrant amnesty, against President Bush's tax cuts and favors gay-marriage rather than a quirky A-type personality prone to temper tantrums that refused to listen to advice traditional values solidly conservative under-dog that received no support whatsoever from national GOP leaders that's perky good-looking posed on a horse.

Hey, its not like sending a Republican to the Senate is the least bit important; they're a dime-a-dozen there. The Senate is literally awash in Republicans. IN ANY CASE, the other states pretty much have all that sewed up, so no skin off Florida's nose if they re-elect a Democrat to the Senate.

The resounding cry can be heard throughout the land: CARL ROVE, YOU MAGNIFICANT BASTARD architect of GOP VICTORY! Rah Rah Rah, Rove's our man. If Rove can't do it, NOBODY CAN!

Forgive me if I'm too harsh on Florida's conservative base as the national election results are not entirely ALL their fault. Although, frankly I've been astonished at the degree of antipathy directed towards Harris by Florida's conservative base.

First of all the folks bashing her are not conservatives....We voted for her and stood with her....It was the lack of conservative values that cost us the house and probably the senate yesterday....She is and will remain a very super person and strong conservative....I will support her again if she ever decides to run...For the first time Sarasota voted liberal....Manatee County and the other counties in our area stayed conservative...We in Florida have an uphill battle in the future because of all the Northerners moving here to live....I live in an RV park and can tell you most of those moving here permanently are liberal....If this keeps up Florida is going to have a tough time voting in conservatives in any major office.....There is lots of blame to go around over the state of affairs in the Republican party but unless they get back to the conservative values that got them in power in the first place...We may have allot more elections like this one....The fact that they did not put up a person to run against Nelson and then did nothing to support Katherine puts the blame on their shoulders not hers...She is one sharp and good person....and something some here are not....Conservative...
