TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris' third Senate campaign manager has resigned, citing the candidate's "tantrums" and "increasingly erratic behavior."

"It became unmanageable, unhealthy, uncontrollable," said Glenn Hodas, who became campaign manager in April, when his predecessor left after only a few months in the role.

"I read the reports and I said, 'There's no way all this stuff could be true.' But as time wore on, not only was it true, but it was worse than reported," he said, describing "tantrums, micromanaging, an increasingly erratic behavior and counterproductive, damaging statements and activities."

Ed Rollins, a prominent political strategist who had served as President Reagan's political director and ran Ross Perot's presidential campaign in 1992, also abandoned Harris' campaign.

He said Hodas' description was similar to what he had experienced.

"Everything is someone else's fault. If there's not a Starbucks coffee house within distance, it's someone else's fault," Rollins said. "After a while you say, 'Why am I putting up with this crap?'"

1. That's what happenes when you sell your soul to the dark side.

2. Let's Elect This Woman - She Sounds Like A Good Representative....

for us common folk. She sounds like good presidential material with all the erratic behavior, tantrums, everything is someone else's fault, counterproductive, damaging statements and activities. Sounds like she had been modeling herself after her role model - *.

7. The GOP already has Bunting and Ted Stevens in the senate. (eom)

[Vickers]

3. There are two great quotes in that article:

"Everything is someone else's fault."

That is the Repuke's whole mindset in a nutshell. Blame Clinton! Blame the librul media!

"Why am I putting up with this crap?"

Every American should ask themself that question on Election Day.

14. you nail it, Vickers

exactly what I thought

[senseandsensibility]

15. bingo

You nailed it.

4. Painting her as a mad woman for when she spills the beans about

the election. Watch for it. Why she's crazy. You can't believe anything she says.

6. That's what I've been waiting for

The day Katherine Harris realizes she's been betrayed and
spills the beans on the stolen votes and election fraud

11. You make a very good point here.

On the other hand, she may very well have real mental problems. Either way, she is not suited for public office.

12. Has she written a book yet? If she were really going to tell all, I think

she wouldn't be "allowed" to. That election was BIG stuff, and some little pipsqueak will not be permitted to blow the whistle. These guys are playing hardball.

16. Like they did with Martha Mitchell, who turned out to be right.

5. Her next campaign manager is gonna come from Manpower or Labor Ready

Soon, she'll be reduced to driving around in a pick-up truck, looking for immigrants, and calling out, "Hey, who here wants to be a campaign manager for a day?"

8. They want to make sure everyone knows she's crazy, so when she spills

hers guts about the crimes of Bush and the GOP, everyone will say, "Oh, but she's crazy". She must be about to blow.

[LincolnMcGrath]

17. You are correct.

[karlrschneider]

9. Maybe someone who thinks she "knows too much" is slipping

a little blotter acid in her Starbucks...

10. Gee, this is the same Katherine Harris who immediately rose to the #4 spot

of the House's Republican leadership. In her first term I might add. Delay passed over scores of seasoned,hard working, dedicated party members to hand her the position.

Did she go looney overnight?

[Sadie5]

13. They have dumped her

and when it finally sinks in she will tell all to anybody who will listen. They can't allow this loud mouth to rat them out so Katherine should watch what her travel plans are. What with small planes being dangerous, and all.
