Off to the Races
Joining approximately 1200 fans, the Harris for U.S. Senate campaign ventured out to the Desoto Super Speedway recently and Katherine quickly stole the show.
Jack Smith, a track official said, "Often, when a political candidate or even one already in office shows up at a race track, they do their thing, make their short speech, shake a few hands, and leave quickly. Not so with Katherine!
After taking time to talk to seemingly everyone in the stands, she moved to the flag-stand, officially started the race with the green flag, and later discussed gas prices, illegal immigration problems, and the economy, closing with, 'We're not ever going to let those boys in Washington tell us what we're going to do, we're going to listen to Floridians and take care of you guys back home!'"
So enthralled in speaking to fans and watching the race were Katherine and her husband, Anders, that they stayed at the race until well past 10:00 p.m. Summing it up for everyone, race fan John Sarppraicone stated, "A lot of politicians don't care about the everyday folks, and you know what, the everyday folks are what make this country. [Katherine] has a very positive attitude toward people...she can do some good for our country."
Katherine dropped the green flag to start the race and watched the "Harris for U.S. Senate" car driven by Bill Davis (#15 car/appropriately named "Miss Liberty") circle the track.
"Our Girl..."
Also last week, Katherine traveled to Daytona. Not for another race, but to attend the Volusia County REC's Lincoln Day Dinner with special guest Lynn Swann, former NFL Hall of Famer for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and current Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate. Hundreds of local Republicans gathered along with some of the most influential politicians in Florida for what was an amazing night.
As Katherine settled into her seat, a plentiful vinaigrette salad with hot rolls and iced tea before her, her attention pointed to the stage as the band played old jazz tunes. Suddenly the band-leader stopped and looked out among the crowd, and called four people to the stage.
Whispered murmurs heighten as attendees speculated about what was happening, as this was not part of the official program. Suddenly, intonations of chords of the song, 'My Girl,' reverberate off the walls. The quartet called to the stage began singing the song, but inserting the word "Katherine" to the lyrics. "Katherine, my girl, talking about, my girl, Katherine, oooooo-oooooo-oh! Katherine! Katherine!" Surprise, laughter, and smiles quickly followed, as a shocked Katherine beamed, ear-to-ear. What a way to top off the night! "I was so surprised at the 'serenade' by the quartet. I think we'll have to bring them along with us on the campaign trail," Katherine said.
"This is just the beginning for what promises to be an eventful campaign where we travel the state, meet with voters, and have some fun on the trail," Katherine added. For updated campaign information, news articles, pictures and videos, please visit our website at http://www.ElectHarris.org

That body you admire is the result of good diet and gym workouts.
She very disciplined in both to keep up her stamina, relieve stress & give her energy for the campaign.
And the content of her character and her conservative values are what I most admire!
However, as I stated in # 81, I'm aggressively noting the modus operandi of their synchronized hate routine which those of us long-time freepers have never seen before.
Please read # 81, 87 and 138.
One of the two, "Field Marshall" has just gone over the edge with his post #99.
He or she intimates Jeb Bush should be afraid of some mentally-ill Harris supporter attempting an "Arthur Bremer" on him.
As most of you recall, Arthur Bremer was the would-be assassin who shot Governor George Wallace, hoping to kill him, but ended up paralyzing the governor for the rest of his life.
This post is sick and is typical of what Hitman and Field Marshall are posting on this thread. Please read the attacks and name-calling to Harris supporters for yourself.

Knock it off! If you continue to troll the Harris threads you will be suspended or banned.
"I'm not going to vote for her, she's not electable."
Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
Savage has been critical of some in the Catholic Church who have been strong advocates of the illegal aliens and their agenda.
Savage is right on both counts, and I agree with him. I'm a lifelong Catholic, and a lifelong Conservative.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Maybe you are- so be advised of this, Savage's attack against the Catholic Church here in L.A. are way off base on this issue of Latino(legal and illeagl)immigrants .
He failed to mention in his rant about the Cardinal Roger Mahoney that Hispanics make the vast majority of people here in L.A. and therefore make up the majority of Catholics here !
So ofcourse the Catholic Church is going to be more sympathetic to the matter of illegal immigrants acquiring amnesty .
There stance is wrong, but it is understandable why they would take such . .
Katherine has won two statewide elections both who were well known INCUMBANTS,it was said back then she couldn't win; she WON!!.She ran twice for congress and WON even without the GOP'S support.I truly hope she wins again so she can SHOVE IT in the faces of all the bashers & haters,including the GOP backstabbers in D.C.
Thanks for the ping. BTTT! for Senator Harris.
I don't want to see any photos of Katherine with Jeb Bush.
Godfather II not III. ;-)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
So you would rather vote for Nelson?
God Bless Katherine Harris!

Excuse me, but K Harris is an excellent candidate,but excuse me for deflating your enormous sense of yourself with the truth. Coming from a corrupt area like you are from with the Mayor a mob Mouthpiece makes you really sound foolish. If you do not behave like Du nobody would suspect you of being a DUmmie. Put your fingers in your ears and say Lalalalalala.......You would make a lot more sense. I have no desire to converse with a negative hijacker that is not within a Thousand miles of Florida. Talk to Harry Reid and Ensign..
Bump, and those same characterists is why the establistment GOP we do everything it can to see that she is defeated. Good luck in Fla, you will need it. Hope she wins.
Strange isn't it. Guess you only have to vote R when it's thier candidate.
I think Harris will win in the end. Polls at this point are meaningless. What is her position on illegal immigration? If she gets on the rigth side of that issue she will get lots of votes from D's and well as R's. She is a good candidate and she will win.
At this point, Floridians of sense have to support and vote for Katherine Harris. She is a Republican, perhaps even a conservative Republican. And Bill Nelson is a liberal Democrat.
This family is voting for Harris.
