Florida Republicans tell Bush election stealer to get lost |
From The Associated Press, 7/31/06:

Florida GOP turned back on Harris
By BRENDAN FARRINGTON, Associated Press Writer
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -
The state Republican Party bluntly told Rep. Katherine Harris that she
couldn't win this fall's Senate election and that the party wouldn't
support her campaign, a letter obtained Monday by The Associated Press
shows.
Party Chairman Carole Jean Jordan made a last-ditch attempt in the
confidential May 7 letter to force Harris out of the race for the
nomination to challenge Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson.
But the next day, Harris turned in paperwork to get her name on the
Sept. 5 Republican primary ballot.
The letter came as Gov. Jeb Bush was trying to get state House Speaker
Allan Bense into the race.
Bense announced later that week that he would not enter the race.
Harris rose to national prominence as Florida's secretary of state
during the bitter presidential election recount in 2000 that gave the
White House to George Bush.
