Grassroots Give Harris Huge Win in Florida Primary

What happens to a GOP candidate who gets the rug pulled out from under her by George and Jeb Bush, Karl Rove and the Republican establishment in general?

She wins! (Katherine Harris = 474,057, William McBride = 287,288, LeRoy Collins, Jr. = 146,487, Peter Monroe = 51,253)

Congratulations to Congresswoman Katherine Harris who won the Florida Republican Senate Primary election on September 5th.

If the powerful didn't support her who did?

Conservative Florida voters! The Grassroots! Imagine that.

"I frankly happen to be very disappointed to read articles in the media that seem to indicate that the establishment isn't supporting her, I certainly don't get that sense personally," said Manatee County Republican Committee Chairman Mark Flanagan, who estimated that Harris has the support of every GOP county chair in the state.

"Politics is local and Republicans in southwest Florida in particular are proud of Katherine Harris and are very thankful that she has been there for us as citizens and as Republicans," Flanagan added.

"Most of our folks are put off by it and feel that it's not helpful for the Washington people to be putting this out there," said Sarasota County Republican Committee Chairman Bob Waechter. "Katherine enjoys tremendous support here." fox news

This woman has been slammed and villified unmercifully but when push comes to shove, I would trust a Harris vote in the Senate over a McCain/Warner/Specter vote anyday. You go girl!
