The Florida Dragon Lady, face drenched in makeup, returns. |
Look out!
Apparently not content with stealing the presidency and then winning a
seat in Congress, Katherine Harris may be about to run for Senate.
I guess fixing an election for your boss really does pay off.
Harris would be running for Sen. Bob Graham's seat (Graham is retiring
this year) and presumably expects her wonderful dual performance as
Florida's secretary of state and co-chair of George W. Bush's election
campaign in 2000 to help her carry the day.
But while winning a seat in Congress is not so tough - even if it's in
a heavily Republican district and you don't win it by a particularly
large margin despite being one of the most famous Republicans in
Florida - winning a Senate seat is a more daunting prospect.
Are good looks, charm, and wit all Katherine Harris needs to win the
seat?
If so, she'd better get to work acquiring some good looks, charm and
wit.
Or are substance and gravitas key factors?
Actually, you know what, don't worry about it.
Katherine Harris has got about as much chance of becoming a Senator as
I have of taking a trip to Moonbase Dubya.
