GOP Fights to Save Fla. Seat in Congress

VENICE, Fla. -- High-profile Republicans are rushing to help
salvage the party's hold on a Florida congressional seat
that likely would have been secure had Katherine Harris been
the incumbent.

With Harris leaving the seat to make a bid for the U.S. Senate,
despite her party's initial disapproval, Florida's politically
conservative 13th District is threatening to fall into the
hands of Democrats.

The prospect of a GOP loss brought Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Mel
Martinez and Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney here Thursday
to campaign for businessman Vern Buchanan, whose internal
polls show him trailing slightly.

Bush's brother, President Bush, is flying to the district
Tuesday, the day after the president's top political
adviser, Karl Rove, hosts a Washington fundraiser for
Buchanan.

1. I am very familiar with this district. I used to live there.

The couple of things bug me about Christine Jennings campaign is she is running as a republican.

There is not ONE mention of her being a DEMOCRATIC PARTY member in her billboards, TV commercials, mailings.

Even her website is "D" free. Is she ashamed of her party roots?
