Katherine Harris "Not Ready for Prime Time?"

Katherine Harris may have peaked too soon in her Senate campaign here in the Sunshine State. Indeed, her campaign has lurched lower and lower as staffers regularly quite, the latest six en-masse, and though most hold their tongue, some allege some sort of tempermental unsuitability on Harris's part---a tendency to tantrums, snap decisions, blaming others for mistakes, and general wrong-footed political instincts---keep her way down in the polls.

Indeed, given the MSM's former hysterics [Maureen Dowdy claimed KH had had "multiple work done," the thundering silence of the usual leftist publications may mean that KH's campaign is approaching room temperature even in the hot summer glare.

For what it's worth, my next-door neighbor here in Boca was elected four times to the Florida state legislature's lower house, and as a Republican had reason to interface with her on a number of occasions. When I asked him for his reading of Harris, he semi-politely said that "she's above average intelligence." Damned by faint praise?

On another occasion, he indicated that before her marriage to a Swedish businessman, she actually asked his opinion of whether or not to get married. Given that my neighbor barely knew the gentleman in question, this may be another indicator that, even though Sen. Nelson may also only be slightly "above average intelligence," he is a lucky man to have ended up with an opponent prone to self-destructive decisions.
