After winning the primary with not quite 50 percent of the vote, U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris is shoring up her Republican base as she faces a tough incumbent who is far less polarizing and has far more campaign cash.
But beyond red-meat Republicans, the Longboat Key congresswoman is not getting much more in the way of votes, according to a Zogby International poll conducted for The Miami Herald that shows she trails U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson by 27 percentage points.

He says she's 27 points down. Zogby's been 'worng' before, but never that 'worng'.
Nelson is a disaster
Check out who came to my club's recent meeting in Orlando, Florida. Hint: she is definitely the prettiest candidate for U.S. Senator from the state.

Darn, I guess I'll have to send her some more money. I hate it when that happens.

I hope she spanks Nelson. Polls be damned!
Correct. If polls decide elections, why vote?
"I am angry at her."
Try scheduling a good anger management specialist.
In the meantime, consider the political reality - she won the primary. If you are a Pubbie, work for her. Unless you plan to pout and let a Libroid win.
Do you really think that those other dimwits of the Republican Party ticket are better than Harris?
Now, she has no future.
She has an opportunity against this nimrod Nelson who is definetly no friend of the average taxpayer. The article's place of origin ought to have given everyone a reason to doubt the veracity/bias range of radiation. If that had been posted in a NW Florida city, it would have been a horse of a different color. Same horse that was the ground swell for the #1 job in the WH, last general election. And, everyone, despite the mistakes that have been made, knows that Kerry would have been a super boon-doogle. Nelson is the typical boon-doogle Democrap and Harris will give him a real run at election time.
I think the problem is with you my FRiend...
You like her positions on issues but you have issues with her wealth???...
Get over it dude...
I am angry at her.
So she's trailing by between 10 and 27 points with a month left. And that's cause for optimism?
The Bushes have appeared with Harris numerous times, even in the primary when the establishment was simultaneously undercutting her. She's hasn't been begging for anything. She's been getting the media spots and top Republicans are contemplating gettting behind her. If they don't, who cares, she doesn't need the establishment's help anyway. She won the primary without them.
So these same polls came out against Bush in 2004 and you were right up there screaming "BARF ALERT!" Give me a break. These polls are pure media fabrication.
Not down 27 points 30 days before the election he wasn't. Show me one candidate down this far this close to the election and still pulled it out.
Or pessimism...
I just think that it is way to early to curl into a fetal position and start wimpering...as this guy is doing...this far out of the election...
OK so let me get this straight. We're just over a month from the election the the top Republicans are 'contemplating' getting behind her? Haven't they decided yet? What about throwing a fund-raiser for her? The President helped raise a cool 2 mil for the candidate for governor - and how far up is he in the polls? They raised money for an Orange county congressman. But nothing for Harris. Are they 'contemplating' that, too?
"Harris might help her chances by campaigning in bikini top."
Although there are some decent pictures from years ago, I think she's gotten a little too old for this.
