Phew. There have been rampant rumors that Harris was going to drop out of the Senate race. She says no way...she's staying. That's great. I hope she stays in this race til she loses in November:
U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris said she doesn't plan to drop out of the Senate race, a statement she made as rumors swirled Wednesday that she would end the campaign because of ties to a company involved in bribery scandal.Of course, we'll see how long her commitment to the race lasts. But, for now, we've still got Katherine Harris to kick around.
"I am out there. We are running hard. We think we have great momentum," Harris said in a telephone interview. She is the only major Republican in the race to unseat Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson.
Speculation was heavy in Washington and Florida that her association with a defense contractor, MZM Inc., that prosecutors say illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her 2004 House campaign would force her out of the race. Harris has said she didn't knowingly do anything wrong.
