Congresswoman Katherine Harris, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, received the endorsement of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and Unified Sportsmen of Florida. Katherine Harris has an "A" rating from the NRA, in stark contrast to Bill Nelson's "F" rating.
bttt
Bumpity bump!
I think the NRA made its recommendation based on who looked most sexy holding a 30.06.
Why did she give up a Congress seat for life for a premature run at the Senate?
"
MoveOn.org endorses Bill Nelson:
Did Florida already have its primary? If not, when is it? Doesn't Harris first have to get past McBride?
This is funny. :)
She's got great hair!

Rated A by the NRA, indicating a pro-gun rights voting record.
Harris scores A by NRA on pro-gun rights policies
While widely recognized today as a major political force and as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has, since its inception, been the premier firearms education organization in the world. But our successes would not be possible without the tireless efforts and countless hours of service our nearly three million members have given to champion Second Amendment rights and support NRA programs.

Yes, I agree....
And the MoveOn.org endorsement of Nelson actually will hut him in Florida and it gives Katherine Harris....proof that he's a liberal pretending to be a moderate.
Excerpt:
In an effort to "take back" the Democratic Party, MoveOn.org recently asserted its political might to help oust Joe Lieberman, a highly respected, devout moderate Democrat from Connecticut, from the Party's ticket.
This is just one example of MoveOn.org's aggressive campaign to target mainstream Democrats and move the Party to the far-left. MoveOn.org champions an extreme agenda that is dangerous for America and certainly does not line up with Florida's values.
Bill Nelson may benefit monetarily from MoveOn.org's ringing endorsement, but Florida deserves better!
Agree but she's also got a great record to run on......
LOL--don't count on it.
