The Bushes Don't Want Harris to Run?
Katherine Harris was integral to George W. Bush's 2000 election, and many insiders believe that the White House offered Harris a free ride in the 2006 Senate race if she would make way for their preferred candidate, Mel Martinez. Apparently, if there was a deal, it has fallen through. Joni James and Lucy Morgan have the story for the St. Petersburg Times:
Republican Florida House Speaker Allan Bense said Thursday he has been encouraged by the White House and the governor to run for the U.S. Senate.So much for loyalty...
That would pit Bense against U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris, R-Sarasota, who some Republicans worry is too polarizing to defeat incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson.
Senate President Tom Lee said he also is being urged to run for the U.S. Senate seat. Lee said he hasn't been contacted by the White House but by Republicans who think Harris cannot defeat Nelson.
