3 More Aides Reportedly Planning to Quit Republican's Team

After pledging to personally donate $10 million to save her sagging Senate candidacy in Florida, Rep. Katherine Harris (R) is suffering a staff revolt -- the latest development in a political meltdown that had GOP operatives yesterday questioning whether she will be able to maintain a viable candidacy.

The Orlando Sentinel reported that lead strategist Ed Rollins, campaign manager Jamie Miller and spokeswoman Morgan Dobbs are planning to quit, adding their names to a long list of aides and political professionals who have abandoned Harris in recent days.Harris's campaign did not return calls and e-mails seeking comment yesterday.

Republican strategists in Washington and Florida said the staff exodus -- which follows months of disarray in Harris's camp -- adds to their pessimism about GOP prospects for unseating Sen. Bill Nelson (D). Two recent surveys -- one conducted by the independent Mason-Dixon polling firm, the other by Strategic Vision, a Republican outfit -- found Harris trailing Nelson by double digits.

"Everyone knew going into this that it wasn't going to be all roses, but no one expected it to be this bad," said a veteran of Florida GOP politics, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly.

1. This part made me laugh -

"Everyone knew going into this that it wasn't going to be all roses..."

Roses? You mean like the roses Helen got? And the ones Boxer got before that?

3. It's not possible to enjoy this too much

4. For me the frightening part is that Harris is only trailing Nelson by

"double digits."

Who remain her supporters, especially at this late hour? Shouldn't she be trailing Nelson by a near-unanimous percentage?

8. Probably some that like the 'twins'!

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[Deja Q]

5. Pledging - you mean she hasn't done it yet?

No surprise here.

Maybe that's why people are leaving her campaign. P-H-O-N-Y is her name-o...

6. Oh, and her "spiritual adviser"??? Wonder what his take is on her

ties to Duke Cunningham!!!
:evilgrin:

"Perhaps the most significant departure was that of media consultant Adam Goodman, considered by many to be Harris's closest and most loyal adviser. Among her top confidants now, according to Florida news reports, is spiritual adviser Dale Burroughs, founder of the Biblical Heritage Institute and known in the campaign as "Dr. Dale.""
