Her opponent is an old Clinton friend, attorney Jan Schneider, who went to Yale law with them. She expects them to raise funds for her but wasn't sure that they would come to Sarasota to campaign for her.

She's a carpetbagger like Hillary & moved to Sarasota just to run against Katherine, who is a 4th generation Floridian!

Joe: Have seen any local polls?

"She expects them to raise funds for her but wasn't sure that they would come to Sarasota to campaign for her."

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Katherine Harris is running circles around Schneider financially.

District 13 Katherine Harris (R) $2,621,613
Jan Schneider (D) $146,566

The above just goes to show how much the McAuliffe/Clinton/Clinton crew want everyone involved in the 2000 election defeated. If those figures are accurate, they're not putting their money up, though.

old Clinton friend, attorney Jan Schneider,

Hope the friendship with the Clintons ends up being the tornado in her life that it has been for others. And hope she ends up like Janet Reno.

No polls here in Sarasota, Julie. All has been rather quiet actually, which is good. Let's me get some work done. $;-)

As far as the background of Jan Schnieder, your points are things I was tossing that the JS backers and "Republicans for Jan Schnieder" groups who were in the Venice Sun Festival parade on Saturday. When I hit them with those facts, you could tell that two-thirds of them had never heard them before. Made 'em think, which, for them, was most probably a painful experience. Oh well!
