Articles and Commentary:
*Katherine Harris derides critics in new book: Al Gore might have had a statewide recount if he hadn't decided to "unleash the dogs of war" on Secretary of State Katherine Harris in Florida's postelection chaos.
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights did a media-assisted hatchet job on Harris and Gov. Jeb Bush in its election post-mortem last year. And some of the male TV news anchors making snide references to her makeup wear more paint and powder than she ever uses.
Those are some of the insights gleaned from "Center of the Storm," a book Harris wrote about her experiences - and lessons learned - in the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election. The 289-page book, subtitled "Practicing Principled Leadership in Times of Crisis," is scheduled for publication in October, just before the election that Harris hopes will take her to Washington as Southwest Florida's newest member of Congress.

But in the waning days before the Sept. 10 primary, the Democratic field offers uncertainty on how to challenge a well-heeled incumbent enjoying above-average approval ratings, who is trying to become the first Republican to earn re-election since Reconstruction.
"I think it's going to be a very, very, very hard job for Democrats to beat Jeb Bush,'' said Charles Whitehead, a former state Democratic party chairman.
