Report: Katherine Harris Considers Senate Run

[Blitz]

ORLANDO -- Published reports say Rep. Katherine Harris is "seriously considering" running for the U.S. Senate.

Harris became a Republican darling during the 2000 presidential election problems in Florida. She was Secretary of State at the time, but rode the wave to a seat in Congress.

Harris is still in her first term. But she tells the Orlando Sentinel she and her husband will "seriously consider" a run for the Senate.

Some observers say a decision to enter the race would make Harris the automatic Republican front-runner.

This should re-focus the nation on Florida.

1. ....

Who is she going to run against ??

[Blitz]

2. Undetermined

Graham is giving up his seat so it's wide open for both parties.

[SCAMBABY]

6. Unfortunately

Graham hasn't done much for the state either

[pinerow]

15. It is quite clear by your post that you do not live in Florida.

eom

3. someone with less botox in their face...if that person can be found.

gin

[fishnfla]

22. she may be the lesser of evils on the GOP side

these are the other GOP "hopefuls"

Johnny Byrd=fucking asshole, think of the terri sciavo case.he makes Tom Feeney look like FDR
Bill McCollum=fucking asshole who led the impeachment
Dan Webster=fucking asshole who told them gay high school kids they would rot in hell

The dems? they have 4 possibilities, the only one I'm familiar with is the Mayor of Miami, Alex whats-his-name. Pretty sad on me huh? Also that guy Peter Deutsch(?) Ambassador dude.

She'll be the front runner regardless. Lock, bought and sold


On edit, excuse me I had 2 beers with dinner

4. Rich Bitch, Extrordinaire...

[w13rd0]

5. I hate that woman...

...if she becomes a Senator, just 4 years after assisting jackass fraud steal the election, my head will explode and take everyone in a 20 kilometer radius with me in a blinding flash of red hot seething rage and disbelief. If Florida puts her in the Senate, we deserve to have Alabama and Nevada both become coastal states...

[LiberalFighter]

11. Make sure that when you do that...

that you are in the midst of as many repugs as possible without inflicting damage to Democrats.

[forgethell]

14. Alabama already is

a coastal state.

[MadMan]

7. Ann Coulter sit down. We have our winner!

Harris is a shoe-in for the "Most Resembles a Man" award.

[ForestsBeatBushes]

10. Why insult men?

"Most Resembles a Lying Sack of S**t" would be more like it.

[MadMan]

18. Point well taken!

n/t

[Noordam]

8. IF she runs she is going to piss a lot of Repugs off

Some house members are already in the contest. And she has not served two years and want to jump to the senate.

[PaDUer]

32. Don't forget this tidbit...

she feels she's OWED to do whatever she wants since she gave * what he wanted, now he's her slave forever.

[tnlefty]

9. Don't they need some more "election" instruction in Iraq?

I'm sure she could show them how to run their elections.

[kskiska]

12. Seems like just months ago she was "seriously considering"

a run for the House. I wonder just how "serious" she is about these positions?

[ILeft]

13. Next she'll seriously consider being Jeb's VP running mate

...in 2008. Wouldn't that just put a cherry on top of this whole darn nightmare???

[ForestsBeatBushes]

16. She probably has enough on the Bushes to do that, but

they'll probably have her killed, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Jeb will run in 2008 but the democrat in office will beat him ... unless Diebold gets involved country-wide :eyes: .

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

17. Credit where credit is due

Good point Blitz. If the nation gets refocused on Florida that could wake up a lot of angry Dems

[Junkdrawer]

19. Knowing where the election fraud bodies are buried does a candidate good..

Ask Chuck Hagel of Nebraska. I hear Sec. of State Cathy Cox of Georgia is slated to be their next govenor.

[Gin]

20. I just got an email about her from the DSCC...at first I thought it was

about me joking her botox....it was about donating and stopping her..
my guilty conscience was talking to me..

[leesa]

21. Why isn't this woman in jail for voter fraud?

[MasonJar]

23. Well, hopefully

Well, hopefully if she switches to the Senate race (you notice none of this came up until Graham decided not to run), she will lose bigtime and then she won't be up there at all. If she runs for the Senate seat, she will not be running for the House.

[jab105]

24. I'll seriously puke if that happens...

Cant stand her, and the people she's representing now aint so fond of her either after she wouldnt even allow them to bring notes into her town hall meeting...

but hey, she's a republican...

[tlb]

25. Since she was elected in 2002 I expected her to go on to Senate.

And why not ? Al Gore and company gave her a billion dollar buildup, taking an unknown minor state hack and turning her into Katherine the Giant Killer. Why shouldn't she make the most of it ?

More, they made her sympathetic by the unending personal attacks on her looks. Numerous posts in this thread display the same old snideness that pushed her administrative incompetence off the page.

An earlier poster said this would be a good thing by focusing attention on Florida and making democrats anygry. uhhh, wasn't that the 2002 strategy over Jeb Bush ? That worked REAL well didn't it.

Harris is an illustration of the principle of blowback. Neeeding an excuse and scapegoat for his failure in 2000, Gore and company made her into a genuine political power. She will be very difficult to stop if she chooses to run.

[0007]

26. Heaven forbid!

Won't this witch ever fly away?

[Isere]

27. Please join me in a pledge

to donate the maximum amount to her Democratic Party opponent.

I'm pledging here and now to donate the legal maximum to her opponent. And I live on the west coast.
Katherine Harris has been the ruin of our democracy.

[Davis_X_Machina]

28. Why wouldn't she run?

She is the most Fürhertreu of all the possible candidates.

[Voltaire99]

29. What the Harris phenom says about Dems

Harris' rise is in direct proportion to the lack of conviction and principle perceived by voters in the Democratic Party. Where there is a vacuum of substance, the people will follow demigogues and shamans and homecoming queens.

We can gnash our teeth about the Dragon Lady all we like. It won't change anything.

Democrats need to develop a meaningful narrative. They need to offer solutions. They need to fight, not accomodate. They need to stop being seen as the GOP's irksome kid brothers.

Failing that, in another ten years, you'll be seeing President Harris.

[jiacinto]

30. Beat the hag

That's all Ihave to say.

[SideshowScott]

31. Proff Positive that all she cares about is herself and not the people ..

That she serves..She Fixed the election.. She got her payback with a cushy house seat ( HOW ON EARTH the people of Fla are blind to this is a 7th wonder of the world ..I find it Beyond appaling ) and now with not even serveing her full term she wants to run for senate..NICE! Well i hope the GOP give it to her as well and let them choke on thire own corruption.

[moondust]

33. Why not President of the Universe?

I mean, as long as she is on the fast track...
