Poll Shows Fla. Incumbent Leads Harris
(AP) - U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris is trailing by a wide margin in her bid to unseat Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, according to a poll issued Wednesday. Nelson was favored by 61 percent compared to 33 percent who preferred Harris, who party leaders had tried to force out of the race, and 6 percent were undecided. The results were gathered in a random telephone sampling of 783 likely voters, conducted Oct. 3-8 by Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.In a larger sampling of 968 registered voters, Nelson was favored by 56 percent to Harris's 31 percent with 11 percent undecided.... ...As Florida's secretary of state in 2000, Harris oversaw the recount that gave George W. Bush the White House and quickly won star status among the GOP faithful.
However, state GOP leaders, who talked Harris out of a Senate bid in 2004, tried again to keep her from challenging Nelson, fearing she would not only lose but spur a large Democratic turnout that would damage the entire Republican ticket. She easily won the Sept. 5 primary.
The poll also found that 59 percent of Floridians disapprove of the job President Bush is doing compared to 37 percent who support his handling of the job. Fifty-five percent believe the country is losing the war in Iraq and 44 percent say the U.S. is losing the battle against terrorism....

If it wasnt Harris........I'd boot Nelson out
Nelson voted "yea" on the "Military Commissions Act" (Read GOP torture bill) If it wasn't Harris he was running against I'd boot him. His response when I emailed him about his rubberstamping? He parroted GOP talking points. Very sad. My own Fl District 14 Race, Connie Mack IV vs. Robert Neeld is the most invisible race in the country. Mack is unfortunately virtually unopposed. 3 Decades of the Mack family having control is enough.

I agree, not much of a choice in Nelson
Not that you need any more ammo against Nelson, but... I rant about him all the time. Voted for the war and every dime of the half-trillion to fund it. Voted for the Patriot Act all three times. Fatherland Suckurity, yep. Medicare deformation - ditto. And don't get me started on the Debt-Slavery Act.... Guess it's hold yer nose time. It's either that, don't vote, or vote for the alternative....
It's both Nelsons,
It's both Nelsons, Lieberman, Menendez, Landrieu, Salazar, Pryor, and the rest of the DLC DINO buttheads. They almost vote as a block, and after the mid-terms it will be time to start working on their replacements.
Harris
She put her credibility on the line for the Bush's....and as tradition goes when they have what they want they abandon the person. Which is exactly what has happened here.
She is a thorn and terrible reminder of how they stole the 2000 election.
Harris, who is the spitting image of the puppet "Madame", LOL is deluded into thinking she is going to win.
The GOP and the Bush Crime Syndicate want her out of sight.....out of mind.
Same as the Evangelicals, they laughted behind their backs, but now the word is out by one of their own and I expect many of them to just stay home. What can Rove threaten them with at this point.
The GOP has a gay chairman of the GOP, pedofiles roaming the halls of congress, Bush is stumping for 4 candidates who either had affairs, or who are under federal suspicion. Shouldn't that go against his religious beliefs that he so proudly boasts, he speaks to God and I doubt that he thinks it is divine intervention that he get and stump for these pieces of trash who have helped drive this country into the ground.
What happened George? His rebirth was part of the Rove and Company dog and pony show. We need to blog, write letters to the editors, do whatever we have to do to show that one, the hypocrisy of these thugs is beyond belief, and two, Ameriacns are not safer today. Over 8000 aliens cross over everyday, the Mexicans are returned to their own country, but according to federal law the muslims are allowed into the U.S. and they drift off into the night.
I know a young man in New Mexico who is a policeman and is working the border, he said he couldn't believe how lose our homeland security was.
The Bush/Cheney crime syndicate have pocketed no telling how many millions at the cost of our young people's lives in Iraq.
They will do whatever they have to in this race to win. Jerry Falwell told Bush on Hardball in 2000, say whatever you have to say, lie, but just get in there and then we can change the world.
It is time to to clean house. Right now it looks like we can pick up 19 seats, and we have a good chance of taking the Senate.
Anyone who doesn't vote to take total power away from these thugs is lost. We need to explain to these people, they are living in communities across the nation, we know who they are, we need to pledge to take at least 20 people to the polls and make sure they are not made confused by the Bush Machine of unethical voting info.
This is the chance we have all been waiting for and we are so close.
The butt-kissing candidate
bush signed the end to our country and constitution today. nelson voted for it. My question is WHY??? He has no reason to worry about his re-election because he is running against a nut-case. So, what does that make nelson? Does he really believe he should have allowed bush to be the dictator-in-chief and also pardon himself from war crimes at the same time? Of course, my questions to nelson went unanswered. I quess it boils down to...we have to take over the country, and then we have to take back the party, or make a new party. Our children are depending on us. I am humiliated and disgusted that my generation turns out to be the big 'takers' in this equasion. We are living on our parent's blood and sweat. We 'boomers' were handed a pretty great country. We have destroyed the economy, we have murdered three thousand of our children, we have destroyed all respect from the world, destroyed the education of our children, and ignored the health of our children. We may be the first generation that will outlive our own children. Oh my God.
Marilyn, the simple answer
Marilyn, the simple answer is that Nelson is NOT a Democrat, even if he plays one on Capitol Hill.

Ms. Harris
I would pay good money to read a book written by Ms. Harris.
The Title being "How I gave the election to Bush".
Sub Title "There is No Fury like Woman Scorned"
