Democrats target Harris, GOP eyes Boyd in Florida House races

U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris is running for re-election in a district that leans heavily Republican against the same opponent she defeated two years ago and her campaign has raised about $2.2 million, seven times more than her challenger.

Yet the former Florida secretary of state, reviled by Democrats but revered by Republicans for her role as Florida secretary of state in the 2000 presidential recount, has a penchant for controversy that has some political observers scratching their heads.

Harris remains too polarizing for some voters, similar to former U.S. Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., Walter said. Barr, who managed the House impeachment of former President Bill Clinton, was unseated in a 2002 primary.

One Democrat was so incensed Tuesday that he swerved onto a sidewalk and aimed his silver Cadillac at Harris and a group of her supporters at a busy Sarasota intersection, turning away at the last minute, police said. No one was hurt.

The White House was so worried that Harris would attract angry Democrats to polls across Florida that it asked the Sarasota congresswoman to stay out of the race to succeed retiring U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla. She bowed out of the GOP primary in an odd fashion by saying she indeed would run for the Senate - just not this year.

2. Other than evicting the chimp,

3. Gave $100 to her opponent...

Let's hope that the second time's the charm to get that vile bitch out of public office.

Damn, how I hate her.
