Harris faltering in bid for a Senate seat


Rep. Katherine Harris' Senate campaign is running into deeper trouble as her approval ratings decline and Republican pressure builds on Florida House Speaker Allan Bense to challenge her in the Sept. 5 primary.

In the past few months, polls have showed Mrs. Harris, who rose to political fame as the secretary of state who oversaw Florida's disputed 2000 presidential-election recount, leading all comers for the Republican nomination to run against Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson.
But a Republican Strategic Vision poll of 500 likely voters conducted April 21 to 23 showed Mrs. Harris polling at 38 percent, while a majority of Republicans either supported Mr. Bense (21 percent) or were undecided (41 percent).

"Harris continues to be in trouble and, based upon our polling, is extremely vulnerable to a primary challenge by" Mr. Bense, Strategic Vision reported last week. "This is the first time in our polling that her numbers in a potential primary have fallen below 40 percent."

1. Times, as usual, is behind the times...

Harris is "faltering"? A proper headline would have been "Harris Senate bid DOA."

You know the white house and the gop owes you. You are the face of the party, how could they possibly not want you out in front with your two big ones. You'll make a fine Senator Honey.

8. cruella had been such

a winner ..so far. There was that 2000 race she helped steal and then the twits in her district sent her to D.C. So she thinks she's ready for the big time ala that fellow freak, libby dole.

7. NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo! We don't want her to drop out

now. We want her to hang in there and just barely WIN a low turnout primary after she has been bloodied up by Bense and she has revealed even more of her natural charm to the Florida voters.

11. Hey Kate!

I have an idea! You could buy some ads like those one's on the sides of public trash cans! And the backs of park benches! Make sure your 'assets" show because if the campaign thing doesn't work out, you could still get a TV show on public access TV with your recognition.

No charge for the advise. :-)

12. If she ends up winning in November then I'll buy that elections are fixed

13. She is?

The GOP should stand behind her, afterall, she is a Republican who supports George Bush. It only makes sense that she stay in the race.
