Republican Rep. Katherine Harris, who as Florida's secretary of state was both praised and vilified for her part in the 2000 presidential recount, said Tuesday she will run for the Senate next year against Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson.

Her announcement brings a major name to the race, along with the potential to raise a lot of money. "The time has come to launch a campaign for the U.S. Senate," Harris told The Associated Press.

Harris, who is serving her second term in Congress, is considered a top fundraiser and is a popular figure among Republicans. But she is also despised by some Democrats for her role in overseeing the recount that ultimately gave Florida and the White House to George W. Bush over Al Gore. And her entry into the race could galvanize Democratic voters and contributors.

3. I'm working over time to contribute to Nelson.

She must not be allowed in the Senate...ever

OK, Florida Democrats, time to open up a can of whup-ass and send her back where she belongs.

NELSON,D, FL -- 2006

4. My, isn't she the rising star of the GOP

I suppose she proved her credentials in 2000.

14. Never forget 2000. We'll punish her with a defeat; then with a trial

NEW LEADERS FOR A NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

Contact the DNC and Give 'em Hell About NOT Acting on Election Fraud

5. OH LORD! She's the LAST person I want to see in the Seante!

Sure, part of my feelings are because of her actions in 2000, but it's more than that! In EVERY pic I've seen, she looks like a complete FAKE! Way too much makeup, a very self-centered attitude, and when she speaks, she sure doesn't show any intelligence!

What can we do to make sure she doesn't win in Fl???

8. I hate that hag!

:puke:

[wakeme2008]

11. Again STOP STOP STOP she is not a candidate TODAY

There are some very strong Repugs in the primary that will not roll over for her...

[davidinalameda]

19. but the Bushies pushed her aside in 2004

so they'll probably support her in 2006

but of course, that will bring out more Democrats for the 2006 governor's election as well

12. Time to dig out the footage of her playing footsy in the house

chamber...

Send it to all the local press in Florida.

15. I thought she was in jail

for using her face as a deadly weapon.

Oh poo, I forgot. That was in a dream I once had about Jeb wearing a Conferate flag as a loincloth.

27. you guys are so funny

[RBHam]

21. Diebold and Choicepoint are already working on it.

She's already won.

[LightningFlash]

22. Get iVotronic machines out of Florida right NOW.....

Katherine bloody Harris plans to cheat all the way to the goalpost!

[mitchum]

23. I thought she was going for the Triple Crown

[Awsi Dooger]

25. Three years olds only

Otherwise she definitely qualifies

[Awsi Dooger]

24. She wanted to run in the open race last year

But Rove & Co. were worried about potential backlash from 2000, and putting the spotlight on some of her actions from that campaign and its aftermath. Plus they had a logical candidate in Martinez. A run in 2006 was inevitable. I expect her to be the nominee, although her percentages in two House wins were not overwhelming considering the partisanship of her district.

26. What? Not for President?

I'm shocked!!! What's holding her back?

[Stirk]

28. Funny how all these big players in voting fraud are now running for

political office, eh? I guess they decided they didn't really need the middle men.

[ISUGRADIA]

29. This sums her character up well:

Cruella De Vil, Cruella De Vil, If she doesn´t scare you, no evil thing will, To see her is to take a sudden chill, Cruella, Cruella,She´s like a spider waiting for the kill, Look out for Cruella De Vil At first you think Cruella is a devil, After time has worn away the shock, You come to realize, You've seen her kind of eyes, watching you from underneath a rock, This vampire bat, This skins human beast, She should be locked up, and never released,
The world was such a wholesome place until, Cruella, Cruella Deville
