Rep. Katherine Harris Predicts Senate Win

Rep. Katherine Harris Predicts Senate Win

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Gov. Jeb Bush doesn't think U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris can beat Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson. Neither does the state Republican Party leadership, nor her three former campaign managers.

That doesn't matter to Harris. Despite a week of bad news for her floundering campaign, she believes the others are wrong.

"We'll win, so don't listen to the prognosticators, or the pollsters - you can make a poll say anything you want," Harris said Thursday at a luncheon. "Don't be discouraged. We've done it before. We'll do it again."

As she finished, the 27 Republican women that came to hear her speak applauded and rose to their feet.

42. That was my first thought.
The only way she can win is if she has help from the folks who created the entire mess back in 2000 - Diebold and the voting purge.

their husbands who have white-gray hair and wear business suits and are holier-than-us.

3. Katherine is a real nutcase
Obviously not living in the reality based community. Of course then she did manage to steal the state vote for Bush in 2000. Maybe she thinks she can manipulate her own campaign. I'll be glad when they committ her to the state hospital for the politically insane and we don't have to put up with her "Baghdad Bob" routine anymore.

24. The only way Harris could possibly win would be if the voting machines
are fixed to make her win. That would be it. And considering her past ties to people who know how to make this happen, it wouldn't surprise me, but if she does win, I hope people take to the streets like they have in Mexico.

Katherine Harris has compromised the elections in this country before, and she is largely responsible for the mess we're in now.

I hope the bitch rots in hell.

35. That's funny ..... She's the only one to think that way.



It's tragically understandable. The many staffers who have bailed out of her campaign have let the word out about what a paranoid schizophrenic she is. At this point she couldn't win if she ran for dog catcher.



But frankly I'm glad she's still in the race. I hope she gives all other rethugs a black eye by association and that it will cost them votes. She will suffer a humiliating defeat and it will be poetic justice. I love it.

50. In 2004 right before the Election I attended a rally where Bill Nelson
stood on the stage and beat his chest and said that he was going to be the man to look into vote fraud. Four months later in November, Ohio went down in a blaze of corruption with Diebold and all kinds of shenanigans. And when John Conyers called for a Senator to stand with him, Nelson turned his back.

It would be just desserts if he suddenly found himself defeated by Diebold with Harris winning his senate seat. I certainly don't want that to happen, and I don't think even Harris has the balls to try something that blatant in her losing race, but if she did, I bet Nelson would suddenly find his voice and scream like a gut shot panther.

I really hope Katherine will run AGAIN, if she loses.

In fact we should all email her, and encourage her to PLEASE try again.

Run, Katherine, Run! It would be sheer ecstasy to see her lose over and over and over.... :applause:

As for Nelson, the next time he votes contrary to our creed, we should all insist that he hitch another ride on the shuttle before it's put out to pasture!
