What did Harris do wrong?
She has a right to run for Senate, no?
If she couldn't win, then the RNC should have groomed and recruited a good candidate towards the end of 2005. Why didn't they? Instead they sat back and sniped at her, even trying to persuade Bense to run at the last minute.
Look, Harris is the nominee now. Would you rather have her win or Nelson? It's a no-brainer.
she has obviously already lost it and should of gotten out for the good of the party. She is getting what she deserves.
Many of the same people who defend anything Bush does have trashed this lady from the beginning. This is very typical of the moderate wing. They demand fealty from us but refuse to support our conservative candidates for whatever reason. These are the same people saying to vote for Rino's like DeWine.
Harris deserves support. She has been crucified by her own side, the same way Alan Keyes was. The result in Illinois was Obama. How do all the people that ridiculed Alan Keyes feel about him? Truthfully, since they are liberals, they like him just fine.
If the Rino's and the party would support Ms. Harris, rather than Nelson, she would still have a shot at the thing. It's several months out. I've seen our moderate wing do this again and again. They use innuendo, ridicule, and vague charges of incompetence to advance a liberal Democrat over a conservative.
We conservatives are supposed to play ball and support horrible liberal candidates with who run as Republicans, but our moderates won't reciprocate. "Rino's are better than Democrats," they tell us. Remember this one, folks. Bush is president because of this lady's faithfulness. What a bunch of ingrates on this board and in this party.
Also, if the GOP wanted to win the seat why did the governor of Florida stab her in the back?
Not until (and unless) she wins the Sept. 5 primary, she isn't. Harris has three republican challengers (Leroy Collins, Jr., Peter Monroe, and Will McBride) in the primary. On September 6, Harris may be the "nominee." But she isn't the nominee "now."
