Harris Looks Like (FL) Primary Winner
http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/nat-elect/2006/sep/04/090407860.html

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Disaster may not be too strong a word for Rep. Katherine Harris' Senate campaign.

Her makeup and formfitting clothes are mocked on national TV. Her flirty interview style embarrasses her campaign handlers. Staffers keep quitting in despair.

She's been linked to a shady defense contractor, caught in fibs and scolded for telling voters that non-Christian politicians "legislate sin."

Yet, on the strength of her name recognition, Harris is expected to win Florida's GOP Senate nomination on Tuesday, to the chagrin of many Republicans.

2. hahahahaha
the best news ever.

Take a vulnerable Dem Sen seat in a Red state and run the worst possible candidate who was unqualified to be Congresswoman. If only they did that EVERY 4 years!!

I just hope that after she's abandoned and left to die by the party during the general election, she has a few drinks and gets real talkative about 2000.

5. Well, she has an (R) after her name, doesn't she?
But they do eat their young now and then.

Time to start singing, Katherine.

6. I Hope Katherine Harris Wins The Primary
I hope Katherine Harris wins the primary for Republican Senatorial candidate. Florida Republicans deserve to have a candidate like her representing them in the general election.

:evilgrin:

8. Moxie and Spunk
Will there be a problem with Moxie and Spunk splitting the ticket and letting one of the lesser known candidates win?

9. Proves repubs will vote for 'ANYTHING' regardless..........
of how many times IT has to be made over. The 'HACKER BRIGADE' is standing-bye to insure Kathrine's win on election day.

10. no way
there no way she WINS.

Noone likes her. And there aren't any sacrificial Gay or Stem Cell initiatives on the ballot to draw the RW.

11. I predict she will win the Senate seat, horrific as that prospect is.
We're talking about JEB BUSH'S FLORIDA, for God's sake.

14. Then why is she about to win the primary?????
Edited on Mon Sep-04-06 06:32 PM by MyPetRock
Contracy to others here, I have been hoping she loses the primary. I KNOW the FL Pukes are going to insert one of their own into this Senate seat. I was hoping it wouldn't be Cruella Deville. Now I feel she's probably in.
:puke:

15. I agree
No one thought they could do what they've done so far with phony voting machine results, disenfranchising voters, etc. Never say never. Yes, she can and probably will 'win' if she gets in the general election.

16. They would vote for a sack of crap if it had an (R) next to it.
Didn't they hold their noses and get behind Bush?

18. If she actually wins the primary, she will get the Repub. votes in the
panhandle. They will vote for anything that calls itself a Republican.

20. The polls show otherwise.
It's not so much Jeb Bush's Florida as it is the "Good Ole Boy's" Florida. The rednecks ain't voting for no uppity society woman!
