Free Republic

HUD Secretary Mel Martinez "is taking yet another look at a possible Florida Senate run, and the White House seems to be encouraging him to run," according to the Rothenberg Political Report. "Word of Martinez’s interest comes on the heels of apparently inaccurate reports" that Rep. Katherine Harris (R) is likely to announce soon for the Senate. "The freshman Republican told the Report... that that is not the case."

I'm given to understand that the Leon County District Court is to hand down a ruling today on Hill's petition that Katherine Harris be thrown off the ballot. Would any Sarasota or Tallahassee Freepers be so kind as to give us the birdseye lowdown on the decision, if any, today, and when it might come down? Harris' race is crucial to helping maintain control of the House and, in addition, would provide a measure of revenge against the Democrats who attempted to destroy her person. Thank you in advance for any assistance in this regard. Be Seeing You, Chris
