K Harris wins GOP Bid for Sen.......

[bluedog]

MIAMI - U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris (news, bio, voting record) overcame a campaign ridiculed even by her own party to claim the GOP nomination for the Senate on Tuesday, and Rep. Jim Davis (news, bio, voting record) held a narrow lead in the race for the Democratic nomination to succeed popular Gov. Jeb Bush.



With 48 percent of the precincts reporting, Harris had 50 percent of the vote against three relative unknowns. Attorney Will McBride ran second at 30 percent, and retired Navy admiral LeRoy Collins had 15 percent.

************ question is now ....will the GOP party back her?

[Monkeyman]

1. Yep can't have her talking about 2000

[John Gauger]

2. Oh no

I am sad because I beleive all people deserve to have at least a little dignity. By November she will not have any left.

[Hoosier Dem]

3. Oh, Happy Day!!!!!!!!!!!

I am just SO HAPPY that the Pukes are stuck with Katie for their US Senate candidate. This means my favorite reality TV star will get to keep entertaining us through November!!


You GO, Girl!!!!!

[HooptieWagon]

4. Oh, they'll make a few campaign stop appearances

but i doubt they'll give her much money. They'll save the big $ for the tightly contested races.

[Mojambo]

7. She's got her inheritance to blow on the race. n/t

6. why would anyone vote for her???

even if I was a hard-core freeper, I wouldn't vote for her because she has NO chance at beating Nelson

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Shhh! Shhh! She's pissing Daddy's money away like a drunken sailor.

Leave the poor girl alone. It keeps the economy moving when the RW throws their money away.

10. good point

[Canuckistanian]

8. Let's see if the GOP all get behind her

Now I want to see congratulations and endorsements from:

a.) Gov. Jeb Bush
b.) GOP Chair Ken Mehlman
c.) Fellow GOP Senators such as Rick Santorum, Orrin Hatch and Liddy Dole
d.) Media pundits - Newt, Tucker and especially Hannity.

and

e.) Smirky McFlightsuit himself (wouldn't hurt).

No? Not a snowball's chance where?

11. The Monroe, Collins & McBride voters must feel like crap..

If they would have united behind just one of the others instead of spreading the vote, Cruela would have lost.

Will McBride 238,547 30%
LeRoy Collins 119,143 15%
Katherine Harris 398,037 50%
Peter Monroe 44,039 6%

389,037 for Ms. Harris
401,729 for other candidates..

12. The best part of all this is that the FL repug

voters actually found 3 other candidates to be even worse than her! Just THINK of how bad they had to be.
