Last Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris attended a ceremony with the president of the United States at MacDill Air Force base in Tampa.
It was a critical moment in her campaign for the U.S. Senate, a race her own Republican Party leadership doesn't believe she can win. Her ensemble: a body-hugging, sea foam green suit with lace trim, slit skirt, green open-toed slingback shoes and a multistrand pearl choker.
On Wednesday, state House Speaker Alan Bense declined the GOP's pleas to take Harris on, making her the party's leading Senate candidate. But it seemed people were talking more about that green outfit than any other campaign issue.
They talked about its tightness. Its greenness. Its laciness. And those shoes. They talked about how it might have been a lovely getup for a wedding. Or a garden party. Or perhaps a nice private dinner out.
But she was appearing at an official function at a time one might have thought she was seeking to convey gravitas, not girlishness.

It's not the dress, it's her curves.
Women like her should not be considered for serious positions.
What's your point? She's only running for the Senate. It's not like she's running for something important.
This, more than Harris, is what gives a boost to Nelson.
It's a sad state of affairs...As the Democrat Party becomes more evil, the Republican Party becomes more stupid. What's a voter to do?
There ARE a lot of intelligent, conservative or genuinely middel of the road Republicans.
They should LEAVE the party and form a third party.
The McCains, Snows, Chaffees, etc would find themselves with nowhere to go.
The Dems won't vote for Republicans even they are Democrat light.
The new party could draw from conservative Republicans, conservative independents and the few non-Bolshevik Democrats.
Beautiful woman, exceptionally nice outfit, conservative, smart and brave. What's not to like?
And she took a lot of heat and personal abuse for simply taking a stand enforcing the election laws of Florida in 2000. I don't know what Jeb and the GOP establishment have against her.
