The consultants in Florida that know her want nothing to do with her. I started hearing that sometime ago. If Bense would have gotten in the race, all the big names would have jumped on board his campaign. I am still trying to figure out the love affair with her on FR when all indications point to she is tempermental and won't listen to good advice. If I were a consultant down there, I wouldn't take the job unless I received a huge cash advance and not sure then I would even take it from what I have heard about KH -- none of it has been complimentary.

I'm sorry, but in my mind character matters; it's about more than just a record. I said it during the Clinton Presidency, and the principle holds. If alarm bells aren't going off in Republicans' heads by this point about Harris' character, I don't know what it would take.

I do not read our local newspapers...They are both two liberal for me.....I know what they have reported and they never ever have supported her...or any other Republican down here...There just may be two sides to the story and just maybe we will see the other one after she has her test...Just do not beleive every thing you read or what some here have to say...Would you beleive the NYT...I just found out today that the Sarasota news paper is owned by them...I live in Bradenton and the Herald here is and has been totally opposed to her..

If she is so bad then how come she has been won her district by large margins...It is a very conservative districts...If she had run for congress again. It would have been the same...She is like Tancrado and not very well liked by the administrations...They never ever gave her any support..Part of it had to do with the fact she would not go along with the administration when they wanted her to...say what you want...I will still vote for her...

I just happened to be perusing another thread on this topic, and I notice you made the same assertion. It was disproved in a post to you here.

Did you forget about that already, or do you prefer posting misleading information if it suits your cause?

So what? The statewide media here fawns over the radical-left bolo tie wearin' clown of a governor here in Montana. I only read the local papers for the boxscores, and sometimes I even question the accuracy of those.

This is how most of America see KH - Florida republicans included (believe it or not):

The AP reports:

Katherine Harris’ Senate campaign staff is leaving again, and the description of working for the Republican congresswoman plays like a scene out of “Mommie Dearest.”

Harris is prone to tantrums, wants to be treated like a princess, micromanages, fixates on minutia while ignoring the big picture, and sometimes does exactly opposite of what advisers tell her with bad results that they have to clean up later, staff members said. Following on the heels of yesterday’s Sunset Boulevard references, we’re starting to see a pattern. So we’re asking:


Which classic movie does the Katherine Harris Senate campaign most resemble?
1. Mommie Dearest
2. Sunset Boulevard
3. Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
4. Female Trouble
5. Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!

And this is tame. Her voting record is irrelvant at this point in time.

Try telling me why my stance is wrong with something other than inane insults.

"If people like Rollins worked for her and then gave quotes like these..."

Rollins worked for Ross Perot in '92...then by the time Perot had help sink Bush...Rollins quit Perot and called him nuts.

Maybe both quotes were true, but Rollins' sure seems to have helped the chances of a two Dims...

I apologize - I misread that post and was wrong. You are indeed correct.

With friends like Rollins, you don't need enemies. He is now working with a total lunatic in NY..and hired Terry Lenzner to do dirty work against Spencer the republican candidate.

Yikes! Joe S. had my respect in the Clinton/Lewinsky thing. I suspect he found it more fun to be in front of the camera than being a member of Congress. I always thought it strange he left Congress to work for MSNBC. Ed Rollins... what happened to him?

Look I think most of us here are on the same team...I am retired, ex Air Force Viet Nam vet...Character matters allot to me...I just know that there is allot of stories out there about Katherine...I have not met her but I have several friends who do know her well...I talked to one of them today and told them the stories that are going around on here...I cannot repeat what they had to say..Her record does matter if you want to keep a true conservative in office...I know there is a few others on this site who are in her district...I know they support her also...One of them who may post on this thread knows her quite well...I will support her as she has supported several of my vet friends and one vet organization...Just something that this vet intends on doing...She is in my district and I know how well she is liked here..Our local media has been on a huge smear campaign since she announced for the office...I refuse to buy their paper on account of it and other things they have done...

It's just pathetic how Katherine Harris is being paid back for saving the election for Bush in Florida. She only did what the law called for and she was vilified by the press, democrats, etc. She should be up for saint hood.

Joe Scarborough jumped the shark a long time ago. I only needed to watch his show a few times to see where he was coming from.. The dead intern explanation is "Iffy" at best.

The fact Scarborough doesn't like her, doesn't make a bit of difference to me.

"Better that the Dems have another seat than we have to deal with someone in a national office with the potential to continually embarrass the party and hurt other GOP candidates by association."

OK, admittedly I don't know a lot about Ms. Harris, but...

I think we were all proud of the job she did as Secretary of State of Florida (then a state wide elective office)when the biggest chips in the political world were down in Nov/Dec 2000.

Then she was elected to Congress in 2002 and I have not heard of any gaffs or scandals during her nearly 4 years in the House.

Now, Monday she will undergo surgery to remove an "ovarian mass" that has to be stressful.

Maybe she has just become derailed during this campaign and health issue...but comments by the likes of Joe the RINO...Rollins and sour grapes hired political hacks don't impress me.

So what else have the Harris bashers got?

P.S. Member of the Senate is no more a national office than is Member of the House.

Hey, fair enough. No doubt we're after the same goal, we just see different ways of getting there. Let's agree to disagree...

Fair enough...I am new here and registered after lurking for years...Mainly over the threads that I saw bashing Katherine...If I thought she was as bad as she is being made out to be..I would look some where else..I just trust very much the judgment of several of my friends and the fact that I have followed her career for a long time...I truly believe you should take time to visit her site and check out her record...I do not believe that this district would have kept electing her if she was as bad as being made out to be...I am a big supporter of Jeb Bush...I was disappointed in how he has treated her...Yet he did come out later with his support...That I watched on tv here..By the way quite a few of my Air Force friends and a few biker friends are from Pa...

Rollins will work for anyone. He's washed up and no one of any import wants to hire him.
