"They had trucks in Florida bringing the ballots to Tallahassee," Jay Leno said on "The Tonight Show." "In fact, it's the same trucks they used to bring the makeup to Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris."

Senate Contender in Florida Presses On

Ms. Harris is adamant in her claim that news organizations have doctored photographs to exaggerate the amount of makeup she wears. "I haven't worn blue makeup since seventh grade," she said, referring to photographs she said she had seen of herself on the Internet.

She is especially animated when the topic turns to animals, including the guide dog she plans to train starting in November. She will care for the dog for 18 months, spending nearly all her waking hours with it. "You can't let them sleep in bed with you," Ms. Harris said. "Which is going to be harder on me than the dog."

When a supporter in a Venice veterans hall said he once witnessed Ms. Harris leave her vehicle to escort a turtle across a highway, she became gravely serious.

"All of my life I have stopped for turtles," she said firmly, even defensively, as if someone had challenged her commitment to turtle safety.

1. She's one weird person

What do this have to do with the race?

[FSogol]

2. When will she spill the beans on the FL election? n/t

[MadHound]

3. Oh please, there is so much other stuff to beat Harris with

Stop pouncing on her for exhibiting a few human traits, OK. Frankly I sleep with my dogs on a nightly basis, and have been known to stop, pick up turtles and put them well away from the road. Geez, I would thing that we would praise the woman for exhibiting at least a touch of humanity and compassion.

4. Amen! n/t

7. I'm with you!

If sleeping with your pets and stopping to make sure critters don't become roadkill are sins then I am very guilty!

[JCMach1]

5. OMG I now have one reason to like KH

I stop for turtles too!

[Richard Steele]

6. Stops for turtles? So she has a shred of compassion.

Too bad she doesn't have the same concern for
the health & welfare of THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.

As far as training guide dogs, I'm just glad she's planning
something to occupy her time for the next 18 months.
It's not like she's gonna have much else to do.

8. I stop for turtles and my dog sleeps with me...

Holy shit, I'm Katherine Harris!

Time for the breast enhancement, I guess! :P

[kpete]

9. I agree with all of you

I mainly posted it so that I could show off her outfit...

Sorry - I will "stop myself" next time...

[MadHound]

10. I agree, the outfit in that picture is very odd

Some sort of "White Wedding" fixation:shrug:

[debbierlus]

11. Wow. She looks more like Cruella Deville then EVER!

I stop for turtles, too.

But, I don't create myself in the image of a cartoon disney villain!
