KATHERINE HARRIS Just appeared on Hard Ball with Nora O'Donnel filling in for Chris Mathews . . .

---

Rep. Katherine Harriis was briefly interviewed by Nora O'Donnel just minutes ago - - the interview lasted only about eight minutes . .

The onterview was direct and cordial, the issues of Katherine's low polling were discussed as well as the statements she(Harris) recenty made to that Baptist newspaper, Congresswoman Harris answered them fairly well !

The last two minutes of the interview, both Nora and O'Donnel were speaking at the same time - - it was a quick interview . .

Rep. Harris stated that questions about her fundraising would be resolved by election time !

I watched Katherine Harris with Nora O'Donnell on Hardball. She was very focused in her message that Nelson is too liberal for Florida by talking about his voting record on several issues.

The interview was only eight minutes but Harris was able to make many points....despite Nora's interruptions.

Nora finally gave up her attacks when it became clear that Katherine was not intimidated and was on message.

I thought it was one of the best TV interviews Katherine has had!

I urge anyone who missed it to try to catch it on the 7pm show. Harris was on during the second half-hour.

It's been over a quarter of a century since Florida has had a woman in one of the highest of this country's political offices.

In 1980, GOPer Paula Hawkins became the first and only Florida female elected to the U.S. Senate.

Since then our state has been blessed with the sorry likes of the ole "he-coon" himself, Gov. Walkin' Lawton Chiles, not to mention the likes of the ever-pinko Sen. "Graham Cracker" Bob Graham, son of the owner of the Washington Compost.

And certainly not to mention getting stuck with Bill Nelson, the mango-pulp-for-brains Hillaryite whose consistent socialist/marxist knee-jerk votes put him to the left of Teddy Kennedy & Co.

We Florida women are ready, eager and damn near salivating to put a qualified, conservative Republican lady into the Senate. We'll turn out en masse for her all over the state in the primary AND in the general.

Just watch us do our job for the conservative cause in the upcoming elections, all you armchair boo-bird he-coons!
