Katherine Harris may be throwing in the towel, dropping out of race.

[lpbk2713]

I love it.

A not very upbeat article this morning in my local (Central Florida) newsrag says she will have a formal announcement next week. She has been cancelling appearances lately and keeping a low profile since the MZM story broke. She never really had the support of her own party. They would have preferred someone else to run in her place but they didn't want to offend her so badly that she would blow the whistle on the GOP and their Y2K selection conspiracy.

It took a while but she got her payback. I love the fact that the GOP in effect turned their back on her. I sort of wish she would stay in the race all the way. I'd love to see her suffer a humiliating defeat for her prominent role in the grand theft of the Y2K election. If it wasn't for her part in it we would now have a lawfully elected president in his second term and we wouldn't be embarrassed on the world scene with this idiot we now have.

1. There's dancin in the streets

The whore of Diebold gets her comeuppance.

[barbaraann]

2. I would love to see her start a new career as a singer.

I would love to see her sing about the GOP!

[opihimoimoi]

7. In due time, all there is to know will come forth...such is TRUTH

Cruella looks ugly old and in general///fucked up....

such is payback I guess...

[Toots]

23. What's that old saying? "A woman Scorned"

:shrug: She very well may write a book and tell some secrets...

[lpbk2713]

35. I would just love for her to write a tell-all book.

And have the whole rethug party brought down around her ankles.

[The Backlash Cometh]

34. I bet she's too flabby assed to take Paula Jones' path.

That poor lil' country flower.

[displacedtexan]

3. You know it's really bad when they can't even win by cheating!

Has she resigned her House seat?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

4. What would be SWEET is if she has to withdraw, but is STILL convicted

for taking bribes from Wade and MZM.

That'd be some nice karmic payback.

[Botany]

5. Please Katherine .... Stick it out

[mdmc]

18. Bring in the cavalry ! Hang in there, Sista!

:kick:

[johnfunk]

28. Run, Cruella, Run... and LOSE!!

[ronnykmarshall]

40. You mean stick THEM out!

:evilgrin:

[Mr_Spock]

48. That's what I thought was intended there

:evilgrin:

[ContraBass Black]

6. I shed a tear...

...Because I was laughing so hard.

[cali]

8. I hate it.

I don't want her to drop out and get replaced by a repuke who has a better chance at beating Nelson. I want to see her get her ass whupped.

[vssmith]

15. If she is truly the one on the

horse you can put me in charge of whipping her ass! Someone has to do it!!!

[cali]

22. hmm, interesting response n/t

[newyawker99]

38. Hi vssmith!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[warrior1]

9. but the question still remains

Can she be charged with a crime and sent to prison? Just asking..

[BuyingThyme]

11. I say yes, and I'm nobody.

[BuyingThyme]

10. If she has to drop out, she's gonna get a BIG money job to

keep her quiet. We're talkin' Tony Blair money.

[DainBramaged]

14. NONONO remember Linda Tripp

[ewagner]

31. Actually, she's independently wealthy

If I remember correctly she's the granddaughter of Flordia Citrus King Ben Hill Griffith...for whom the stadium at University of Florida is named.

Otherwise, I hope she stays in the race...

[boobooday]

12. It's been a great run (stifled sob)

I got a boob job, and flirted with all kinds of powerful men!

But I must drop out of the race to spend more time with my tanning bed. I'll miss you . . . but I will always feel good knowing that there are dozens of Republican men pleasuring themselves to that picture of me on a horse at any given moment!

[BiggJawn]

20. Not just ReTHUGlican men...

What can I say? I'm just a Whore...:shrug:

When I saw "Throwing in the Towel" I thought "Hmmm...Things are so bad, she has to do a 'Desperate Housewife' thing and flash those plastic titties she was showing off on CNN that one night last fall?"

[boobooday]

30. LOL -- she's next year's Superbowl commercial!

She drops her towel in front of Brit Hume, then jumps in his arms . . .

[BiggJawn]

39. And he pushes her away...

...and says "Get off me, BITCH! You helped that CLOWN become president!"

[Richard Steele]

13. It hasn't happened yet....

...and I am not getting my hopes up until
it's a done deal.

Just sayin'.

[Coexist]

16. I hope she stays in... she is beatable

Jeb is rumored to take her place. He would be tougher to beat.

[DoYouEverWonder]

26. I'd love to see Jeb run for Senate

A lot of Bushshit will come out if he does and if McBride almost beat him, then Nelson could probably do it with one hand tied behind his back.

[Lochloosa]

55. NEVER! Do NOT underestimate Jeb.

I have had to put up with that smug son of a bitch for 8 years. He is a powerful campaigner and knows all the right money men.

He would give Nelson a run and could very well beat him.

[saltpoint]

17. The late Buddy Hackett would not have been effective as Hamlet.

Katherine Harris does not make a good public servant.

She's essentially a perfumed tyrant, operating on about the level of a catty 8th grader. Evil Barbie. Bush stooge. I will never forget her up in New Hampshire before that state's primary in 2000, handing otu Florida strawberries to support Bush. John McCain whomped the Bush effort that year in New Hampshire, but as Bush climbed back into the race by smearing McCain in South Carolina, Harris withdrew to Florida to rig the election against Gore.

I just won't miss her at all. I wonder if she will retain her Congressional seat if she drops out.

[Warpy]

19. The problem is Florida

She would likely have suffered a narrow win or a narrow loss, but never a crushing defeat. There are too many rednecks in Florida, especially in the Panhandle, which is where her soft Congressional seat is. The GOP thought Congress and a fat Congressional pension should have been adequate payback for selling the country out in 2000 and never would have supported her fully. She's OK for the House, in other words, but would have been too much of a lightning rod as one of two Senators.

[ornotna]

32. Not the Panhandle area

Her district is on the central west coast. Believe me, I know.:cry:

[ldf]

37. isn't that where all the florida "old money" is?

around naples?

[yellowcanine]

42. Doesn't it include Sarasota? Definately not Panhandle territory but

almost as conservative - which was the point I believe. Have any strong candidates stepped up to run for her House seat? If she decides to try to hang onto the seat it would be sweet if she failed at that as well.

[lpbk2713]

43. The Florida 13th (Sarasota) has a large retiree demographic.

They imported their RW values with them from other parts of the country.

[ornotna]

45. There is Jan Schneider

http://www.votejan.com/

She came close to winning last time. She'll get my vote again this year.

[Sperk]

21. Have you ever seen anyone wear evil on their face like she does?

:puke:

[MiniMe]

24. My Eyes, My Eyes. That looks like plastic surgery gone wrong!

[opihimoimoi]

27. Kinds looks like Jacko gone ugly/weird

[PCIntern]

25. RE: that pic of her on the horse...

don't anyone tell me that you-know-who wasn't doing her.

sheesh...

[Divernan]

33. She never really RODE that horse. Look at the stirrups.

They are way too long - adjusted for someone with much longer legs. She just posed for the picture. On the other hand W the Arrogant is too afraid of horses to even pose on one.

And riding a trotting horse with those fake boobs would bounce her around so much she's probably rip one or both of them out of position! Dropping out of the race, so to speak.

[Bushy Being Born]

36. As I already posted on another thread,

she may have a lot of faults, but she does more or less know how to stay on a horse:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=631277&mesg_id=634689

Anyway, I hope she does stay in the race. Nelson should have no problems beating her, she's the easiest opponent we can hope for. I would much rather see her humiliated by the defeat than to just pull out now and just go back to the House without getting what's coming to her.

[soothsayer]

41. I was looking at those stirrups, too. I'd like to see that horse take

off!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

29. Ye gods, she looks like Edward G. Robinson in a wig...

Run along now Katherine, you got into congress as a reward for 2000. That is all the reward you'll see. We'll get in touch should your corrupt services be needed again.

Heckuva job, Harrie.

[Bluebear]

46. !!!!

:spray:

[Bigmack]

44. If she throws in the towel....

.... I hope she uses it to wipe off the TammyFayeBaker makeup off her kisser first!

[Bluebear]

50. Better be one of those huge body towels for that job. nt

[Mr_Spock]

47. Snarling Ms Cruella Deville must be running out of kittens to eat

Damn shame I say :D

[upi402]

49. not a towel, face fell off

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[NuttyFluffers]

51. Nooooo! All those lost jokes! Say it ain't so!

i wanted more spooky "cruella bought a new set o' falsies!" 3/4 poses. aww, the raw material, gone to waste! the pain!

[fishwax]

52. good to see her comeuppance

:woohoo:

[upi402]

53. She was showing those to Hannity I think.

^^

[fishwax]

54. eeeww

:scared:

:rofl:
