Rivals confront Harris at forum
Opponents for Senate seat say representative has no chance of winning against Nelson


She is one of the most ridiculed politicians in Florida. But Monday night Katherine Harris told Collier County Republicans she would be the state's next U.S. senator if they stood with her.

"No one unites our base like I do," Harris said. "I will not kowtow to the liberal media or the higher-ups in our own party. Don't listen to the prognosticators or the polls."

...

But even in Republican-dominated Collier, Harris still had to deal with sniping from her three largely unknown rivals for the GOP nomination during a candidates' forum sponsored by the county's Republican Party. The trio contended Harris has no chance of defeating Nelson.

Orlando attorney Will McBride, Safety Harbor developer Peter Monroe and retired Navy officer LeRoy Collins of Tampa all urged Republicans to vote for them instead of Harris in the Sept. 5 primary election. McBride also demanded a written apology from Harris after one of her supporters alleged that he changed his name to McBride from Rodriguez right before he became a Senate candidate.

22. No one unites our base like I do

"No one unites our base like I do," Harris said. "I will not kowtow to the liberal media or the higher-ups in our own party. Don't listen to the prognosticators or the polls."

YEEEE-HAAWWWW you shake that possum!!!!

Harris Fantasy vs Reality(with jokes)

"No one unites our base like I do" Not much of a base left

"I will not kowtow to the liberal media..." Only kowtows to the conservative media

"...or the higher-ups in our own party." ...only kowtows special interest groups/corporations, anyone with the money to feed her cosmetic habit

"Don't listen to the prognosticators or the polls" but follows the bush doctrine of who cares what you think

2. she's had too much of the Rove koolaid to drink!

7. Next headline ......

K HARRIS STOPS CAMPAIGN CARAVAN AT WET T-SHIRT CONTEST

[lpbk2713]

5. Sounds to me like Krazy Katie has finally seen the reality of her position

Harris said, "I will not kowtow to the liberal media or the higher-ups in our own party. Don't listen to the prognosticators or the polls."



Sounds to me like an admission that her own party has written her off (like they've been trying to tell her for months) and that she doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hell. Too bad she never learned her party has no problem with devouring their own after they have outlived their usefulness.


Don't worry, Katie darlin'. Daddy left you lots of money and you can piss it away any way you damn well please.

[MrCoffee]

8. You remember it all, Katie girl

You remember what those rat bastards in the party apparatchik did to your campaign. You remember how they tried to cut you off at the knees. You remember how they all laughed at you.

You remember what you did in 2000. You remember all of it. You'll get the last laugh, Kates. And we'll be all ears.

Today's addition to the ongoing saga of Katherine Harris, currently known as *B.S.C. Candidate Harris:

Opponents blast Katherine Harris over mailer

By Jim Stratton

The Orlando Sentinel

(MCT)

ORLANDO, Fla. - Opponents of Senate candidate Katherine Harris stepped up their attacks on the Republican front-runner Tuesday with one saying Harris owes him an apology and another saying she is mangling facts.

LeRoy Collins Jr. blasted Harris for a fundraising mailer rife with statements that Collins and others describe as outright lies.

In the June mailer, entitled "Campaign 2006: Fact and Fiction," Harris makes a series of claims about why she can beat Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson.

The mailer states, for example, that Florida Republican Party Chairwoman Carole Jean Jordan "has officially endorsed" Harris. But in May, Jordan wrote Harris urging her to drop out of the race. And in a statement released last week, Harris herself said Jordan "cannot endorse a candidate" with the primary race on.

The fundraising letter also stated that Gov. Jeb Bush had "pledged to back Katherine Harris' campaign." But Bush has publicly said Harris can't win and pushed_unsuccessfully_for House Speaker Allan Bense to challenge her.

Finally, Harris' fundraising letter cites a Zogby International poll that shows her trailing Nelson by only 3.9 percentage points. That poll, however, is at least 10 months old.
