Election trends, GOP still staggering, and Obama 08?

Florida Republicans have never been the types to listen to polls, or apparently, conventional wisdom.  Despite a near-daily barrage of negative press, embarassing headlines and bizarro behavior, Sunshine State GOPers are poised today to send Katherine Harris to represent them in the race for Florida's U.S. Senate seat.  And why not?  Apparently no other Florida Republican seems to have the gumption to take on Democratic incumbent Senator Bill Nelson, despite earlier thoughts that his seat was vulnerable.  If nobody else wants to run, we at Capital Caucus applaud the state GOPers for giving us all the entertainment value of Rep. Harris.

For that, Florida... we thank you.

And we also thank Flickr's mrbigmuscles for this picture.  ("Me and Katherine Harris at the Langord Park Repbublican Luncheon yesterday. She was nice enough to honor me with a photo.")
