Run, Katherine, Run!
By Byron LaMasters
A poll out this week shows that Katherine Harris has a double digit lead in a race for the GOP Senate nomination in Florida. The St. Petersburg Times reports:
Harris was the choice of 29 percent of Republican voters. Former U.S. Rep. Bill McCollum of Altamonte Springs, the GOP's Senate nominee in 2000, was second at 15 percent. U.S. Housing Secretary Mel Martinez, who is expected to enter the race as soon as next week, scored third at 11 percent.
Former State Education Commissioner Betty Castor leads Democrats:
Castor's first-place showing is consistent with previous polls in the race. In the latest survey, she received 28 percent, ahead of U.S. Rep. Peter Deutsch of Fort Lauderdale with 17 percent and Miami-Dade Mayor Alex Penelas with 15 percent.

It's too bad Al Gore doesn't live in Florida.
A Harris-Gore contest would be epic and give Democrats across the country a major reminder of how we were robbed in 2000.
If the Democratic nomination is a done deal by Florida primary day, Dems should cross over in droves and give Kate all the support she deservers!
I know Betty and she is terrific. I did not know she was running until I saw it on your blog, but as soon as I sign off I am going to call her. Get ready this could be a great race. Betty was commissioner of education in Florida and it would be great to see her elected. Spread the word to all about her. charles,TDP Chair
