Now it's time for an update on the Katherine Harris Senate campaign.

Here she is at a meeting of the Broward County Young Republican Club:

Er, at least that's what it says on her website.

Actually, I must admit that despite everything, I'm starting to feel a
bit sorry for Harris (sorry that she might not win her primary, at
least).

Last week she held a campaign rally at Orlando Executive Airport, and
it was, well, a bit of a flop.

According to the Orlando Sentinel:

Katherine Harris' attempt to boost her campaign with a series of
high-profile endorsements wilted Thursday when none of the officials
appeared at her campaign rally and one of them said Harris wrongly
included him on her list of supporters.

State Sen. Daniel Webster, R-Winter Garden, said he has not endorsed
Harris and instead is supporting one of her challengers, Orlando
attorney Will McBride.


Ouch.

Mind you, it's not like anyone really noticed:


None of the nine officials listed on her event flier appeared, leaving
Harris on her own to address a group of about 40 supporters, reporters
and campaign-staff members.


40 supporters, reporters and campaign-staff members?

So that's about 10 supporters then.

Yep, I'd say so:

The most prominent official on hand was former state Rep. Allen
Trovillion, who left office four years ago.


Long time readers of the Top 10 may remember Mr. Trovillion when he
welcomed gay students to his office by saying "God is going to destroy
you" and then claimed that Broward County has a "masturbation
problem."


Harris spoke in an airplane hangar that seemed to highlight the modest
size of the crowd. She said a last-minute location change -- required
because a tree fell on the hangar where the event was supposed to be
held -- kept crowd numbers down.

Airport officials, however, said no hangar had been damaged by a tree
and that the rally was in the hangar that had been originally booked.


Wow.


Harris spoke for 10 minutes, saying she is the only candidate with the
conservative credentials to defeat Nelson.

When she finished, red, white and blue balloons dropped onto an empty
stage, rendered unnecessary by the sparse crowd.


You know, I'm really going to miss this race when it's over.

Do you think we can persuade Harris to run for president in 2008?
