April 14, 2006--The Florida Senate seat held by Bill Nelson (D) was once seen as a pick-up opportunity for the GOP. Now, however, the imploding campaign of Katherine Harris has Nelson counting down the days until May 12. That's the deadline for some other candidate to file and challenge Harris in the Republican Primary.

If Harris ends up as the Republican nominee, Nelson will be one of the nation's safest incumbents. The latest Rasmussen Reports election poll of Florida voters shows Nelson leading Harris by 30 percentage points, 57% to 27%. A month ago, Nelson led by 21 points.

Numbers like these have even caused the state's top-ranked Republican, Governor Jeb Bush, to express concern over the state of the Harris campaign. Over the past month, every senior member of the Harris campaign resigned.

Just 45% of Republicans would now vote for Harris over Nelson. Thirty-three percent (33%) would vote for the Democrat.

tick, tick, tick...

2. She's only 30 points down

The gop should send bush and cheney down for tons of photo ops and shower her with money.

3. At least Nelson will vote with the Democrats on the continuing resolution

Maybe nothing else, but at least that.

4. Where the hell is that 27% coming from? Does she have that many relatives?

8. The 27% is the "Moxie and Spunk" vote n/t

[CottonBear]

10. The same 27% that supports DimSon no matter what. n/t

6. Let her count the votes, again...

...even 30 points ought to be within her Republican "margin of cheating."

7. that really proves that there are somewhere around 1/3 of the people

that will go along with anything as long as it has the right label on it.

I think it used to be known as stupid.

9. Yea, but the Fl primary isn't until Spt. 5th! The Pubs have MONTHS

to find another candidate! If they find one with a little name recognition, there won't be much time to dig up any dirt on him either!

11. I think onenote has it right. The state & national GOP apparatus will

just shove the woman out of the way and supplant its own new candidate to face Nelson.

At this late point, though, I don't see anybody slobbering for the chance to take on Bill Nelson.

It looks as if Nelson may retain that seat. No red pick-up for the Republicans in Florida.

12. Start spendin' Katie!

Whip 'em out ....... the checks that is!

14. Not sure it could've happened to a bigger @$$
