Nelson (D) 60% Harris (R) 33%

The question is, do you pour resources into Florida so that Harris loses by only 20%

Harris doesn't need the RNC "resources."

All she needs is strong statements by the RNC supporting her against the socialist Nelson, not knife-in-the-back comments made by RNC "officials" too scared to go on the record.

and in the process lose 3-4 other GOP seats that could have been won with a few more ad buys?

What other seats? My guess is that conservatives will continue to support House candidates. The RNC needs to put their resources behind conservatives running for Senate seats. But that's a laugh because the RNC only supports RINO hacks like Lincoln Chafee over Laffey in RI.

It's one thing with it just a few polls and it is within 10 points. But this is way too much to explain by bias pollsters.

I've been turned off by the wholesale Freepdom denial of polls. Any one poll is suspect. Look at a dozen polls for some consistent message and more often than not, you get a meaningful measure of the political landscape.

Many Freepers are too young to recall the Clinton Impeachment. Poll after poll showed very low support for removing Clinton from office. Freepdom insisted all the polls were wrong. Of course, it was the Freepers who were wrong.

Clarity is often scarce on FR, I admit.

[fhlh]

what does that tell you about the Florida voters?

[HitmanLV]

Wouldn't it make sense to put their resources behind Harris now instead of trashing her daily?

Let her spend that $10 million she pledged, then didn't pledge, whatever. Don;t throw good money down the toilet by supporting Harris. She thinks she is hot stuff - let her perform.

You don't know jack about FLA politics

[longtermmemmory]

I think the problem here is Harris herself. She over estimated her value. She had a safe seat in the house and just got greedy.

Now she has no house and no senate.

It is no pleasure to be one of the 33%.

She had better start defining herself as no rino if she has even a tiny prayer to fight this out.

[HitmanLV]

KH comes across as a carnival sideshow clown. that image of her in her garish makeup stuck. A candidacy stillborn. Doesn;t stop Freepers from expecting her to win, though.

[LadyNavyVet]

She co-sponsored an illegal amnesty bill of her very own in Congress.

Can you give me more information? I've been trying to figure out her position on immigration and have gotten conflicting information.

I have never understood Florida politics either! LOL! I would like to say that this state is basically conservative with far too many dems moving here, but that isn't exactly true either. My neighbors for instance, one next door is from the Northeast (NY), they are conservative. Another neighbor across the street, native Floridians, are liberal dems. Go figure?

I agree, this is a Republican Party fiasco. You have my sympathies: Barbara Boxer AND DiFi? Can there be anything worse? :0)

[darkangel82]

That would work if the Devil Rays had fans.

[ModerateGOOPer]

The RNC supported Chafee in RI because Laffey would have gone down in flames in the general election. Like it or not, ultra-liberal Rhode Island is not going to elect a solid conservative. A RINO from Rhode Island is the best the GOP is going to get.

Nobody but Jeb could have won this seat from Nelson.

And he's not running. So people should stop belly-aching about Harris.

[NYC Republican]

We're on the same page. For a while, I also bought the BS FR comments that the MSM has lost its ability to influence people... Just the contrary, as conservative voices sprouted up, the leftist media just turned it up that much more...

What's the ratio of people who get their news in 30 second sound-bites from the evening news (on alphabet channels),or lib newspapers vs. Fox/Internet? If I was a betting man, I'd say 5-1, at least.

The MSM is still all powerful.

[doc30]

Opps - voted to continue *NO* drilling off the coast. types to fast and now I'm probnably going to get two dozen replies correcting me before this posts!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

She co-sponsored an illegal amnesty bill of her very own in Congress.

That only applied to FL agriculture workers, which I disagree with her on.

You failed to look at her overall immigration record, which includes some good anti-illegal legislation.

50% on immigration is much better than the 0% you'll get from Nelson.

[Kenny Bunkport]

Can there be anything worse? :0)

Schumer and Clinton?

[blaquebyrd]

If you do a search for "katherine harris immigration" I'm sure you'll run across it. I've pasted the link on other threads. She's not running from it, she's running on it. She even brought it up in the Hannity interview, you know the one where she pledged to use her deceased father's fortune on her campaign. Katherine Harris comes off like Paula Abdul on qualudes in her interviews. I wish a stronger candidate had run. This is going to be like clubbing baby seals.

[HitmanLV]

I'd say they are still 'very powerful,' but not 'all powerful.' They went full throttle against dubya and the GOP in 2004 and while Kerry almost won, on balance the GOP did very well and better than some folks expected.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Don;t throw good money down the toilet by supporting Harris.

So I should donate to Nelson instead?
