Harris' Senate campaign loses core staff
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Katherine Harris' U.S. Senate campaign lost what was left of its core team when a top adviser, campaign manager, and communications director resigned this weekend.
Harris, a Republican congresswoman challenging incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, said Saturday she would introduce new members of her campaign early in the week.
"We are stronger as a campaign today than we were yesterday," Harris said in a press release.
Harris said her campaign has lined up people who believe in her candidacy, are committed, and support the "values of mainstream Florida citizens."
Former campaign manager Jim Dornan, who resigned in November, said, "She had the best people in the country. She can't get any better than that.
"This is a campaign that is spiraling downward by the minute," he said, adding she should drop out of the race.
Among those resigning over the weekend were Ed Rollins, a political adviser to President Reagan; campaign manager Jamie Miller; press secretary Morgan Dobbs; and other key staff.
Phone messages left for Rollins and Dobbs were not immediately returned, while contact information was not found for Miller. Harris didn't immediately return a call Saturday for additional comment.
Her campaign has struggled since announcing plans to challenge Nelson last summer.
For months, GOP leaders in Washington tried recruiting someone else into the race, and Harris' fundraising was slow from the start. Turnover has also been a problem. She recently lost a pollster, a national financial director, treasurer and media consultant.
Advisers urged her to get out of the race. She refused and announced last month that she would spend $10 million of her own money to compete with Nelson, whom she has trailed significantly in several polls.
Just to remind any of those keeping score at home, the top Republican in the great state of Florida is Jebby Bush, and that Jebby's brother is the President of the United States, and would not be the Presdident of the United States without the fanatical scut-work of Ms. Harris.
Who has now become a liability.
With three phone calls from the White House, Ms. Harris would be awash in gold, advisors and all the pollsters she could ask for. Dubya could hang his arm around her for five seconds at Crawford and tell the world that she's a good 'un. But those calls will never be made, and that picture will never be taken, because loyalty in the Bush Crime Sydicate only runs upwards.
The Bush Family are oil royals, to the tanker born, whose asses the rest of the world was created to lave, shave, wipe and kiss.
And Harris is a commoner who forgot her place.
A once-useful fuck-toy that's lost its shape and novelty and has been left on the curb for the rag pickers.

But what a rack!
Yup, that's the accurate analogy. Begone peon!
Do you think she was a fuck toy?
That's a serious question; it's the first time I've heard that allegation.
Harris isn't a commoner who forgot her place, she's a daughter of inherited wealth like the rest of the aristocrats of the GOP. The problem with Harris is that she's dishonest and a political liability.
This is Katherine Harris "I'm putting everything on the line" wait a second, "No, actually, I'm not."

This is Katherine Harris who in August of 2004 said that "a man of Middle Eastern heritage had been arrested and hundreds of kilograms of explosives were found in his home," or not, but she knows that "100" terrorist attacks have been averted since 9/11, based on classified information she somehow has access to. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/08/05/politics/main634122.shtml
This is the Katherine Harris who tried to cure citrus canker with HOLY WATER.

Crazy? Sure. Liar? Yup. But where's the loyalty? If the GOP can turn a dry drunk son of privilege like George W. Bush into a president, they can surely turn a twitchy political operative like Katherine Harris into a senator. I mean, come on, is the senate like some elevated place now, with Bill "She Does Respond" Frist as the majority leader? Does the former haunt of Strom Thurmond, racist turned barely concious senator, somehow have a higher bar for entry nowadays?
Harris's only flaw is that she's not as talented at raising money and charming GOP bigwigs as Drinky and Frist.
Prior to the highjacked 2000 election, Harris procurred, for the GOP, an expensive controversial voter list that purged thousands of "felons" from the voter rolls. It turned out that many of the purged voters were not bona fide felons (They were registed democrats, however). Police checkpoints were set up on routes to the voter precincts to inspect jalopies. As Secretary of State, Harris was also instrumental in jamming up the recount, approval of the punchcard ballots (resulted in hanging and dimpled chads) and approval of the "butterfly ballot" (wherein, if you had poor vision you had a good chance of voting for Pat Buchannon instead of Al Gore). She was an valuable tool and without her actions and assistance, Al Gore would have won the State Of Florida and hence, the national Election.
I cannot think of one reason why Harris is not getting the help she needs from the GOP. OTOH, Bill Nelson is a DINO (ex.Alito cloture vote), who is rather popular with Florida Republicans. They really don't need Harris that much, probably they think they can spend their money better in other areas.
Yes, the Rethugs (metaphorically) used her and tossed her aside like a Two-Bit Whore.
Then again, Harris has political liability potential if they plan to run Brother Jeb! AHA!
Harris' problem is that once they get her in, they can't get her out. On the other hand, they can offer Mel Martinez the VP slot in '08 to chill out the millions of Hispanics they have offended, allowing Jeb to appoint Martinez' replacement.
Gosh, I wonder who that might be?
Roxtar--
Jeb's term runs out in 2007. A new Fla. gov. gets elected this fall, and it can't be Jeb due to term limits.
The GOP doesn't particularly want her on a statewide ballot in 2006 because she fires up the Dem base. Dems who turn out to vote against Harris might also vote for a Dem governor candidate in 2006.
The fact that they've written off going for Nelson's seat tells me the nationwide GOP is running really scared.
Cleter:
I dared not dream Jeb would be unemployed so soon. And yeah, giving up on Florida is not a move one makes from a position of strength.
anon,
Not allegation: analogy.
BitterHarvest,
I don't disagree, but within the House of Dubya, if you're name ain't Bush, you exist to serve. And once you're squeezed dry, you're fit only as a portion for foxes.
1988dylan,
Because they don't want to.
It doesn't matter how much of Heaven and Earth you move to please the House of Bush; once you become a liability under the bus you go...unless shredding you would make them look stupid, in which case it doesn't matter how awfully you fuck up.
You can let a whole city drown, and you'll still get a "Heckuva Job", but ONLY if hanging on to you helps Dubya save face.
Drifty:
Harris comes from sugar money. You know, the people that trashed the Everglades? The only people perhaps scummier than the Cuban mob refugees currently running Florida's drug trade?
So she's not "common", at least not in her mind. Her wealth may be a bit more nouveau than the Bush family's, but she's still riche.
And of course it burns her ass to see the Bushes toss her aside like a used rubber. (Actually, strike that: I can't imagine the Bush boys ever caring enough about their partners to use rubbers.)
So you betcha she's on the warpath.
