Harris, Hart, and Beasley all leaning toward Senate Races

This from www.politics1.com:

HARRIS, HART EDGE TOWARDS US SENATE RACES. Two well-known political figures -- former US Senator Gary Hart (D-CO) and Congresswoman Katherine Harris (R-FL) -- both appear to be moving towards making US Senate runs this year. Both are expected to announce their plans by the end of next week. Sources who have spoken with Harris believe she has already decided to enter the race for the open seat being vacated by retiring incumbent Bob Graham (D). The White House is reportedly trying to discourage Harris from making the race, as her candidacy could remind voters daily of the 2000 Presidential recount and polarize the race in Florida. Hart, meanwhile, has been holding meetings with top DSCC officials in DC and Democratic leaders in Colorado -- a sign that he is actively considering making the race against incumbent US Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R). In related news, former Governor David Beasley (R-SC) appears to be leaning towards entering the open US Senate race in his state.

1. Jon Corzine and the DSCC

Have done an amazing job at recruitment. Hopefully they'll be able to talk Gary Hart and Chris John into running here. They would be joining our fine group of candidates, including Inez Tenenbaum, Chris John, Betty Castor, Nancy Farmer, Brad Henry, and Tony Knowles. Now, if they could only get Jonathan Miller to run in Kentucky, we'd be set.

Also, make sure to vote in this Hart v. Campbell poll:

2. mndemocrat_29,

Jonathan Miller is going to take out Rep. Anne Northrup.


My fear is that we will run out of money. With the Presidential race, House races, Senate races and Gubernatorial elections, funds will be quite scarce this year.

3. I hadn't heard that

I figured when Miller turned down a chance at KY-6, he'd pass on House races all together. I know that Tony Miller, the man who nearly won the Lt. Governor's race, is running, and I think that he's going to be a fairly good candidate there. I still hope that Jonathan Miller changes his mind and takes out Bunning. That is a seat that we really could take.

I was wrong. I'm sorry. I mixed up Tony Miller with Jon Miller.

Mea culpa.
