...her only one political favor for helping get his brother George elected as pres in 2000, but Katherine has other ideas and sees the connection as an annuity for life. One way or another Katherine Harris will be getting up into the highest (or lowest depending on ones perspective) levels of DC politics. For now, she has no choice but to schmooze KKKarl Rove who is hardly the kind of stud muffin Katherine Harris is attracted to.

Katherine Harris to Run for Senate in 2006
By BRENDAN FARRINGTON Associated Press Writer

(AP) - TALLAHASSEE, Fla.-Republican Rep. Katherine Harris, who as Florida's secretary of state was both praised and vilified for her part in the 2000 presidential recount, said Tuesday she will run for the Senate next year against Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson.

Her announcement brings a major name to the race - along with the potential to attract huge infusions of cash from Republicans and Democrats alike because she is such a polarizing figure.

"The time has come to launch a campaign for the U.S. Senate," Harris told The Associated Press.

Harris, 48, is serving her second term in Congress. She is considered a top fundraiser and is a popular figure among Republicans.

But she is also despised by some Democrats for her role in overseeing the recount that ultimately gave Florida and the White House to George W. Bush over Al Gore. And her entry into the race could galvanize Democratic voters and contributors.
