[Non-Sequitur]

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...

If the election was 30 weeks away I would agree with you completely. But it's 30 days away, and Harris is trailing badly in the polls and the national party has written her off. Nobody is raising money for her, she's depending on Matthews and Hardball to get air time. If this is way to early then when do you begin to worry?

Stranger things have happened....

But that is not my point...All I am saying is not to give up...We need this seat...Why the party is not backing her is a mystery to me...

It is interesting when one gets practical about election politics. Clearly the problem with Harris is that she will get almost no Democrats to vote for her, and she does terribly among independants. She does pretty well with Republicans, but what Republican wouldn't? IF she were running against Russ Feingold, she might have a prayer. Nelson, whose poll numbers were very weak six months ago, is not a polarizing figure. Harris is and always will be. Harris lost in the middle before she ever started. That was what she was told by Rove, Gov. Bush and Ken Mehlman.

She should have quit. But she goes to speak in front of Republican Ladies clubs, and she is adored. All I can think is that her ego craves it so, she is willing to spend $10 million of her father and grandfather's money so she can play the game a little longer. Her political career is over and she has no one but herself to blame.
