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.

This pose is not helping her much. But I like the outfit.
I think she is classy and that jacket probably wouldn't be so clingy if not for the wind on the tarmac.
Plus the fact that she was holding his hand to keep it from stabbing her in the back.
"Trash tells a story all its own."
You're right , the SPT has just shown how useful it's publication would be for picking up dog squeeze ....
Here she is, looking more serious.
Are we talking about Hillary ?
Everyone's been trashing Harris, and yet no "electable" alternative emerged. And the deadline to file was last Friday, correct? So, why have the notables, including Gov. Jeb Bush, been so determined to stab Harris in the back, when they couldn't muster a viable alternative? Maybe they should have run Judge Geo. Greer...I hear he's a Republican.
Nope. But I do get a laugh whenever a conservative tries to use the sexism card. Put that card down before you hurt yourself! :-)
She is first class all the way.
BIG time
In the Slimes, written by S. Fink? Gimme a break.
Absolutely, but don't expect many here to recognize (or accept) this.
No one. Jeb Bush trashed her last week, the same day W visited Florida, saying she couldn't win. If Jeb couldn't scare up an alternative to Harris, and didn't want to enter the race himself, he should have sat down and shut up. I'm embarrassed for the Florida GOP. I hope Harris proves them all wrong.
Let's see if this "Bitchy" campaign against her works.
Reminds me of Nancy Reagan being attacked for wearing a red dress.
As I recall, the Ketchup lady, who was herself running for First Lady,
usually looked like she had slept in her J.C. Penny clothes.
Don't worry about me , thanks though . So, which is it ? Why all the hate ?
I wish I looked that good when I was 49. (past tense: was)
That's a far better outfit for a situation like this. Now, the person inside...
The SPT doesn't print articles about her positions. They print articles about her makeup, her dresses, her campaign contributions. etc.
If they gave her a fair shake, she might do well in the election, and they can't have that.
She certainly has the fugure for it.
