Friends and advisers say Harris has been deeply religious all her life, but religion recently has become a central part of her campaign. Campaign staffers warily describe Harris as leading a "Christian crusade."

"It was always part of the background, but it was never an integral part of the campaign. It never engulfed her," said former campaign manager Jim Dornan, who quit the campaign in November but keeps in touch with staffers. "She's grasping for a pillar she thinks this campaign can be raised on."

Her top campaign advisers, having failed to persuade Harris to drop her struggling campaign against Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson, are preparing to leave. Those include Ed Rollins, a highly regarded GOP strategist and her top campaign adviser; Adam Goodman, her longtime Tampa-based media consultant; and campaign manager Jamie Miller. Harris has been aggressively campaigning for support among religious conservatives, hitting large churches and headlining a "Reclaiming America for Christ" conference in Broward County last weekend. She told hundreds of attendees she was "doing God's work" with her campaign.

2. Harris is a psychoanalyst's dream.

Will be fascinating to watch the meltdown. Is the makeup a way to hide her true self? Was her relationship with her father truly whacked? Why the exhibitionist tendencies (see, boobs)? Way too much to consider. She did Bush's bidding in 2000, then actually believed she was important to the administration. One term in Congress, then a quixotic run for the Senate. Hopefully when she collapses, she will take Sean Hannity, who is obviously obsessed with her, down as well. Stay tuned.

4. #s 8 and 9 are a little problematic for K. Harris

#8 the 2000 Florida election

#9 Little company called DBT that ripped 57,000 (mostly black voters from voting)
by saying they were felons ..... 90% were not .... that would be a lie.

A pillar of salt

9. Her "Christian" plan reeks of desperation. And about all those campaign

managers leaving--could this have been a Bushista plan (via Jeb) all along? Well-placed campaign managers working on a campaign Harris was told NOT to expect support for, then campaign managers leaving suddenly, all saying "she can't win, she can't win."
