Many of the same people who defend anything Bush does have trashed this lady from the beginning. This is very typical of the moderate wing. They demand fealty from us but refuse to support our conservative candidates for whatever reason. These are the same people saying to vote for Rino's like DeWine.
Harris deserves support. She has been crucified by her own side, the same way Alan Keyes was. The result in Illinois was Obama. How do all the people that ridiculed Alan Keyes feel about him? Truthfully, since they are liberals, they like him just fine.
If the Rino's and the party would support Ms. Harris, rather than Nelson, she would still have a shot at the thing. It's several months out. I've seen our moderate wing do this again and again. They use innuendo, ridicule, and vague charges of incompetence to advance a liberal Democrat over a conservative.
We conservatives are supposed to play ball and support horrible liberal candidates with who run as Republicans, but our moderates won't reciprocate. "Rino's are better than Democrats," they tell us. Remember this one, folks. Bush is president because of this lady's faithfulness. What a bunch of ingrates on this board and in this party.
The problem with Alan Keyes is that he couldn't make a speech without saying something profoundly dumb.
Harris had a campaign staff of professionals at the beginning, but they ALL bailed when they got to know their candidate better.
This bears repeating, and has repeatedly proven to be true.
Let them go to DU. thats where they belong.
You think that the Republican establishment is responsible for the defeat of Alan Keyes and the impending defeat of Katherine Harris?
Did it ever occur to you that their shortcomings as candidates caused their problems?
