U.S. SENATE RACE

Waiting for Harris has GOP antsy

Republicans are hoping that U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris will run against incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson in next year's Senate elections.

Republicans say U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson will be one of their leading targets for elimination when he's up for reelection next year.

Yet, 18 months from the election, not a single Republican has stepped forward to challenge the freshman Democrat. The leading reason? U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris.

The Republican star of the 2000 presidential election recount is looking at taking on Nelson, and her interest has other Republican hopefuls on ice, given the conventional wisdom that Harris would be the runaway primary favorite should she decide to run.
(snip)

'It's hard to stop and say, `Are you going to bet the farm to run against an incumbent?' '' said Harris, acknowledging that she risks losing a relatively comfortable seat in Congress to take on what would be an expensive and grueling race against Nelson. ``Before I pull the trigger I want to see the plan, how we're going to be victorious.''

1. Lovely. Just lovely.

2. Of Course They Have a Plan

I want to see the plan, how we're going to be victorious.

I'm sure they have a plan. They need to detail which voters to intimidate, which absentee
ballots get "lost in the mail" and sent to the boiler room to be filled
out, who gets the special voting machines with rob-florida.zip loaded,
who gets kicked off the voting rolls....





if (candidate.party == REPUBLICAN) {
candidate.votes += 200000;
} else {
candidate.votes -= 200000;
}

Everyone in Broward County, FL should learn your subroutine! I know that Betty Castor sure should.

13. Can't Wait for the SQL, new voting software from Dewey, Cheatem and Howe

great sig ! how about naming it: Can't Wait for the SQL

if (candidate.party == REPUBLICAN) {
candidate.votes += 200000;
} else {
candidate.votes -= 200000;
}

(for the uninitiated - gray hairs like me referred to this acronym as "Sequel" before we were corrected by the younger, more brilliant generation. It is now usually spoken as the individual letters.)

and don't forget: rob-florida.zip requires shank_usvoters.exe to run properly

16. This old gray hair wanted it to be called squill - had to settle for S Q L

When microsoft came out with Sequel Server hoping to have structured query language acronym converge with it's product name. We had to go to S Q L.

Pronounced as squill is way funnier than either sequel or s q l, very disappointed it didn't catch on.

3. The plan???

It's simple...cheat.

4. The Plan

The Plan
by Built To Spill
album: Keep It Like A Secret (1999)


The plan keeps comming up again
And the plan mean nothing stays the same
But the plan won't accomplish anything
If it's not implemented.

Like it's always been
And it makes me think of everyone
The cause of this is evident
But the remedy cannot be found
Cause it's so well hidden

This history lesson doesn't make any sense
In any less than ten thousand year increments of (common sense) (x5)

6. Pays off big time when you steal an election, eh Kathy?

[LizW]

7. Did I dream this, or did it happen?

Wasn't there video a while back of Katherine Harris on the floor of Congress being all flirty and almost kissy-face with some other Congressman?

Maybe there's an affair or two that she wants to make sure won't come out before she runs for Senate.

[hedda_foil]

11. You didn't dream it Liz.

She was all over him.

[Dinger]

18. Florida DUer's: What Do They Say AboutmJeb & Cruella?

I'm curious.

[Benhurst]

12. To be fair,

she was just making a play for the cheap slut vote back home.

[merwin]

8. So would she be running the election as well?

If so, that's a serious problem.

[Lochloosa]

9. I heard had to throw away the chair she was sitting in when she

certified the 2000 elections....couldn't get the spot out of it....
I can't wait for the debates. Bill will wipe the floor with her.

[AndyTiedye]

15. But She Will "Win" Anyway

I can't wait for the debates. Bill will wipe the floor with her.

I'm sure he will, just as Kerry wiped the floor with ** in all three debates,
but ** "won" anyway.

[reprobate]

10. The republican party is, by definition, a criminal enterprize.

[goclark]

14. That photo need to have a warning label on it

I almost dropped my coffee.

[xxqqqzme]

17. has the FL govenorship

been promised 2 her as well for her manipulation of '00 FL vote? Jeez talk about values - these rethugs value loyalty above all.

I'd ask how she got eleted in the 1st place but I already know the answer.

Wonder what was on Blackwell's wish list?

[Lochloosa]

19. I have a step brother that is a Congressman

He says that people turn the other way when they see her coming toward them. She is not well liked in Congress.....in his words..
"rich uppity bitch"
