Great article. Katherine Harris is an outstanding congresswoman and I know she is going to make one great Senator when she beats Nelson in November.

Congresswoman says infrastructure improvements and Iraqi-American cooperation are most noticeable changes.

During a recent trip to Iraq, U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris, R-Longboat Key, met one-on-one with a small group of Florida soldiers in the Middle East.

Harris said one soldier told her to let the military experts fight the war and decide when to withdraw troops.

"He told me, 'Don't take us out before we can finish;" Harris said. "That is the one thing the troops say when I am alone with them:'

Thanks for the ping!

Okay, will ping the list of troop supporters. This isn't exactly what I normally do pings for, but as I am a supporter of Congresswoman Harris' bid for the Senate seat, I'll bend my rules here.

Last week I sent her the fourth check. Promised her one every 3 months starting last Fall.

I just like her as a person. She's got a head on her shoulders.

Anybody know where that is?

Thanks for the ping, patriciaruth!

I've always liked Katherine Harris, too. I like her even more after finding out she is such a strong supporter of the troops.

That's some picture!

Couldn't find Tall Mar on Google Image or search. Off to keep looking.

Oh dear Julie.. forgive me for not getting to your great thread sooner. I didn't get home until after midnight last night, had to respond to the pings on the Finest thread I had posted (on Fairies, a "heavy" topic, for sure!) and then process & send out over a hundred pix for use today for an associate.

What a wonderful article & I do love the pix. May God continue to Bless Katherine Harris & give her strength & wisdom in this campaign.

So glad she made the trip to the Mideast & I am sure the men & women she visited were thrilled to see "their woman" there!

What a busy day you had! Thanks for your post and most of all your help with that photo.

A few days ago freeper summer posted a thread of photographs taken in Iraq of FL Gov. Bush with troops from Florida.

That thread reminded me that I had saved this article about Katherine Harris who had a photo taken with many of the same FL troops.

Hope this is a less stressful day for you!
