Harris says she won't drop out of Senate race

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris said she doesn't plan to drop out of the Senate race, a statement she made as rumors swirled Wednesday that she would end the campaign because of ties to a company involved in bribery scandal.

"I am out there. We are running hard. We think we have great momentum," Harris said in a telephone interview. She is the only major Republican in the race to unseat Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson.

Speculation was heavy in Washington and Florida that her association with a defense contractor, MZM Inc., that prosecutors say illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her 2004 House campaign would force her out of the race. Harris has said she didn't knowingly do anything wrong.

...

"We've had some negative hits but we've had an overwhelming response from grass roots and leadership around the state that are saying 'Go for it' and that's what we're doing," Harris said.

1. Good.

Her "grass roots" consists of the Ugly Witches Fan Club and her parents/husband/children.

At least it won't prompt Foley to enter.

[BrotherBuzz]

25. I think the public now knows the difference between...

Astroturf and a genuine 'Grass Roots' movement and neither are gaining traction in the Harris camp these days. :rofl:

[Thor_MN]

33. Her roots are gray and laden with silicone...

[Jack from Charlotte]

42. I really, really hope she stays in.......

might even give her a campaign contribution.

[NV Whino]

2. Good.

More points for our side.

[JeffR]

3. Ho'mentum

eom

[NanceGreggs]

17. Ho'mentum!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You should send that to her - it would make a GREAT bumper-sticker!

[wakeme2008]

4. LOL watch out for small planes

:rofl:

[MadMaddie]

5. Another stupid neocon...she figures she can steal the election..

if she stays in...

[A Simple Game]

35. Well, she does have experience

[wordpix2]

47. of all people, she's one of the best at stealing elections

[napi21]

6. Doesn't she still have to face a primary in Sept?

I don't even know if anyone is running against her, but I know there's a Fl primary in Sept. If her Party turns against her, won't she just lose the primary?

[Lochloosa]

37. There is no one running against her. All the big boys in FL are running

for Governor.

It's funny, no one wanted to take her one. I have no idea why.

[wordpix2]

48. maybe no challengers b/c Cheney supports her

snip:

Harris flew to Washington with Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday aboard Air Force 2. She said she had a good conversation with Cheney.

"We've had no negative reinforcement," Harris said.

[Bleacher Creature]

7. Hallelujah!!!

We need to keep her in the race. Send her money, whatever it takes. The less Florida is in play, the more resources the DSCC can commit to places like Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Montana.

[ozymandius]

29. Glory! Can I have a witness?!?

:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

[Lochloosa]

34. Touch her Lord!

:rofl:

[Kerrytravelers]

8. This should be an easy race for Nelson. Just tie her to the illegal

funneling of money. So, the gop wants to support people who basically steal money? Is that good for Florida?

I'd also campaign hard in the areas of Florida who had their votes not counted or those who stood in line for 10 hours to vote. they should be pretty pissed off that one of the main players in that debacle is now wanting to be a state senator.

On election day 2004, I was on the phone to Florida residents who were experiencing voter fraud. Their names were marked and the database is out there. This shouldn't be too hard.

[KaryninMiami]

14. It will only be easy if we have new machines here.

Otherwise, she could easily become our next Senator, regardless of the exit polls. They cheat, they rig and they lie and they will do it again. As for what's good for Florida, as with the rest of the country, having our votes count in the way we intend would be an excellent start. Being able to do an accurate recount if necessary (and having something to recount) would be good too.

[Kerrytravelers]

19. You are correct.

We have Diebold in CA now, too! :eyes:

[NYC]

38. Perhaps she is confident Jeb will get rid of Sancho?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x2154135

...Ion Sancho, the Election Supervisor of Leon County, Florida who exposed a number of security flaws in Electronic Voting Machines made by the Diebold corporation of North Canton, Ohio, has earlier today launched legal "breach of contract" proceedings against the company. The action has been filed on behalf of the Leon County Supervisor of Elections office.

As with the alarming security flaw revealed by Sancho in a mock election "hack test" at the end of last year, the ramifications of this action could be enormous. That, as all three certified Voting Machine Vendors in Florida have now all refused to do business with Sancho, and Jeb Bush's Department of State is applying pressure to remove Sancho from his elected position...

9. Her tits will drop down to her navel when she hears the bad news.

And that is that Jebb dosn't indeed know her.

[file83]

15. Kathy knows what BOYS want....

...http://www.file83.com/#kathy :spray: :rofl:

[wordpix2]

49. LOL, good one

[DainBramaged]

10. The RNC KNEW she was dirty, only reason they tried to get her out

[Botany]

11. Stick it out Kate!

And don't let the fact that you took $38,000 in $2,000 chunks and then voted
to support the company that got you those bribes stop you.

[lonestarnot]

18. Did she put all of that money into that tit job?

[mitchum]

28. The cheek implants also cost her some $$$

[Dulcinea]

45. Plus the tummy tuck and liposuction. eom

[acmavm]

22. Everytime I see this photo I always look at that necklace and wonder

what the hell the point of wearing that was.

[Binka]

41. It's The Gawk At My Titties Now Look Down Toward My Pussy Necklace

I have DOZENS and I always wear them when I am riding a horse!

[arikara]

36. There's been some heavy duty doctorin' going on

From:


TO:


Doesn't even look like the same person behind all that silicone.

[wordpix2]

50. from Cruella to Dateline anchor

[onehandle]

12. She's not running for the House also, is she?

I'd like to see the petty slug out of politics altogether.

[jpak]

13. Run!!! Cruella Run!!!!

:rofl:

[Double T]

16. Why should Kathrine Harris drop out of the senate race?..........

rethuglicans will vote for anything that has a pulse, shows eye movement, can grunt and hasn't been found guilty in a court of law and placed in prison( at least not yet, to the last).

[lonestarnot]

20. You ho slutfreak electionstealing-titjob... goodluck and goodnight.

[tanyev]

21. You go, grrrl! Runnin' hard and put away wet.

[MODemocrat]

23. Ms Harris should re-locate in Texas; they love crooks there

At least they have voted 2 to 1 for Tom DeLay in the Primary there. You don't get anymore crooked than DeLay. They're the ones who sent us Bush and Cheney too. :puke:

[SoCalDem]

24. I hope she stays in.. She loses the senate seat, and is OUT of DC

and back in Florida hanging out with her pals.. Jebbie's goin' bye-bye soon and hopefully she will be out of politics permanently.. (I can dream)

[Mr_Spock]

26. Cruella Deville scowls & eats another kitten

:rofl:

[VegasWolf]

27. Well, blatant corruption didn't seem to hurt Tom Delay any. All repukes

care about is getting their tax cuts for the rich, even when most repukes aren't rich. Go figure.

[ronnykmarshall]

30. She out there, running hard ...

sticking her new boobs in every voters face!!

[DoYouEverWonder]

31. Great, run Kathy run...

The longer she stays in, the better it is for the DEMS.

[truthisfreedom]

32. hah! this will be good. pass the popcorn!

woohoo!

[annabanana]

39. Isn't she the Deibold sanctioned candidate?

Why the hell should she drop out? In Jebbie's Florida she's a lock.

[salin]

40. hehe

the GOP bushmachine in Florida that created her (as in pushed her climb) has got to be cringing at how much damage she can cause their machine.

[warrens]

43. Hang in there, baby!

Ifn all the other Repuke scum can steal with both hands, why shouldn't you get your share? We're gonna have a BALL with you this fall.

[brooklynite]

44. When you have to SAY you're not dropping out...

you're pretty much circling the drain at that point.

[VaYallaDawg]

46. This should be fun to watch. Just a little bit of truth should do her in.
