Finding inspiration from God, The Last of the Mohicans and The Lord of Rings, Katherine Harris told hundreds of conservative Christians Saturday that she is "a work in progress." Harris, who told a national television audience Wednesday that she would be spending $10 million to win Florida's U.S. Senate race, said she never would have entered politics if she did not believe that God wanted her to make public service part of her life.
The Sarasota-area congresswoman's campaign for the senate has been in a free fall. She has struggled to raise money, and nearly all her top campaign advisers have left. Several tried to persuade the 48-year-old Republican to quit the race, saying she had no chance of winning. But during an appearance on Fox News Channel's Hannity and Colmes, Harris said she will not end her campaign and will instead spend "my legacy from my father" and "everything I have."
More than 800 conservative Christians were attending a two-day annual conference called Reclaiming America for Christ at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale. Harris received a standing ovation when she arrived at the pulpit.
She told the crowd that she studied under Francis Schaeffer in Geneva, Switzerland. Schaeffer is considered a founder of the modern evangelical movement, which encourages advocating Christian beliefs in public life. Schaeffer, in his book A Christian Manifesto, called for Christian activists to demand "biblical morality" in government affairs.
Harris, a Presbyterian, said she "redirected my life to the Lord when I was only in the third grade." She said she was "blessed to be raised in a godly family."

I visited these sites just yesterday... I'm putting my resources on the race for Govenor.. I like Charlie Crist, Attorney General, Ex-Education Commissioner, Ex-State Sen. & '98 US Sen. Nominee
and a huge advocate for Jeb and worked in the Reagan camp, and much much more...
Let all work for Harris' victory. She's a damn clear choice when considering Nelson for another six years!
I don't know if God told her to run but He sure gave the congresswoman a great body.
Are you a Democrat? A Liberal?
If true, it does settle that eternal question - does God appreciate a good laugh? :-)
"I don't know if God told her to run but He sure gave the congresswoman a great body."
I'm not entirely certain that any deity did that. My money is on someone with a popular cosmetic surgery practice.
And no doubt God wanted her to pose in that skin tight shirt and pants to show off her 'attributes' to the Christian world...
You didn't mention her face. Do you prefer paper or plastic?
The devil just gave me some other ideas.
you are right, please no more Bill Nelson. I like Katherine Harris but read (somewhere) that she was already having her campaign financing questioned? In any event, I will watch her race closely. I remember her courage in the Bush-Gore election and supported her then and now.
I continue to hope for the best in this most important Govenor's race, and will support Crist as I can..
See he told you right.
No, and no--if I were, I'd be celebrating Katharine Harris's kamikaze mission.
>>I don't know if God told her to run but He sure gave the congresswoman a great body.<<
Yes, he sure did !
