“We are more than sure we can win,” Harrington said yesterday in a private conversation at BlogCon2011.
When Harrington treks door to door through Florida’s 20th district, her potential constituents often ask two things: (1) Is she a politician? and (2) Is she a lawyer? Harrington is neither. Voters are happy to hear it. They’re even happier to hear what she is: a small-business owner, wife and mother of three children. She also happens to be a three-time cancer survivor — but that crops up in conversation only if an adroit question elicits it.
She’s lived in South Florida ever since her parents moved to the Sunshine State from Massachusetts in 1969 — and her family and she have been in business for themselves for almost as long — 37 years. Today, at the helm of three homestyle restaurants, she and her younger sister employ about 100 people. That means she knows firsthand how government helps or hinders the efforts of job creators.
Like so many conservatives, she grew concerned about the direction the country was headed after the 2008 elections — and, when she looked at her own Congresswoman, she saw a person who didn’t reflect her principles of hard work, free enterprise and a focus on family. So she searched for someone who might be able to successfully challenge DWS — and found that person in herself. She didn’t necessarily want to run — but she also didn’t want to have to tell her children someday that she could have done something to stem the growth of government and restore freedom to individuals and didn’t.
My best wish’s to this lady.
I hope she can beat Wasserman.
Wasserman is the Poster child for Owned Democrats.
She has no mind of her own, only parrots the Dem talking points.
I make a list of non-Colorado Candidates to support financially.
Karen Harrington - FL Dist. 20 is on it.
Thanks Hojczyk.
This sounds great! Knock out the washerwoman and you just knocked out the dnc chair. Could not get much better other than knocking out the schabazz himself.
I’ll be voting for her. Again. I knew about her, probably from FR, but the first time I saw her it was her hawking her chicken wing sauce on a local channel for her ‘Rickey’s Restaurant’ in Hollywood, Florida. It’s probably the only restaurant with C-SPAN on the LCDs. BTW I dig the wings.
How great would it be to dump Debbie Wasserman Test!
Can’t stand Wasserman. But you know who She is, She gets TV time.
Our guy who you never see, can’t really believe thats His name, is as quite as a church mouse and not as active.
The rinos are still running the show and shoving their guys onto the ballots who are not winning the elections.
Rove is a rino, mittons is his guy,” Reince Priebus” ( is that a privileged rino name or what) is a child, not ready for high school debate class, and only YOU can stop this
” - - - — but she also didn’t want to have to tell her children someday that she could have done something to stem the growth of government and restore freedom to individuals and didn’t.”
She leaves nothing else to say - - - .
She lost to Wasserman-Schultz by 22 points in 2010. Why should we think she’ll do better in 2012 in this bluest of blue districts?
They might do something different this time because they are embarrassed that their rep. is named after a syphilis test and has the mannerisms of a snarling rat.
If she’s that vulnerable then why not get Allan West to run? Have him represent the district he lives in rather than the one next door.
