Rep. Katherine Harris to decide if she should stay in Florida Senate Race
WASHINGTON -- Rep. Katherine Harris fueled already rampant speculation about the status of her campaign for the U.S. Senate -- The Longboat Key Republican's campaign is barely stumbling along after revelations that she took thousands in illegal contributions from a defense contractor who bribed a California congressman.

Republican consultant Geoffrey Becker said the race has gotten out of her control. "It sounds like she's thinking of a way to get out," he said Saturday.

As you may know Harris worked for Sr.Bush and fought to stop the Bush-Gore recount of Dade county (mostly democrat)in Florida and she figured it was due time to be rewarded for her efforts? tsk-tsk...!

2. Stick it out Katherine
You're a great american and a poster child for the party of integrity and moral values. Why should you get out of the race because you are doing what most red blooded flag waving conservative republicans have done for years. I think its sexism Katherine. Republicans want you to drop out because you are a woman. What a shame. Fight the good fight.

3. Hang in there, Katherine!
Gawd wants you in the Senate, and imagine what a testimony it will be to the power of Gawd when He miracles your sorry ass into the World's Greatest Deliberative Body! You can do it, Katherine. Stay the course, baby.

The whole, rotten, bitterest endest course.

4. Stay in Cruella!
For purely selfish reasons, of course! You're presently 22% behind Mr. Bill who is not a very exciting candidate and would need help against any real opposition. So you hang in there you little election rigging witch you.

oops did I call you a witch? Of course I really meant to say...

5. I'd like to see the "B" stay in the race, and LOSE!
There's still enough time for the Pubs to pull some other fool out from under a rock and maybe win!

8. Her leaving the race would not be a good thing.
It would give Jeb the perfect excuse to jump in.

9. I think she should drop out
Her new breasts should remain in the race, however.

10. If I recall correctly
she had to decline to file for reelection to her House seat in order to file for the Senate run. So if she drops out she's off the national radar for two years minimum. Is my memory correct?
