Katherine Harris too?
She may have stopped a free and <$NoAd$>fair election from taking place in Florida four years ago. But that isn’t stopping Rep. Katherine Harris (R) of Florida for signing up for the Conscience Caucus.
From Bloomberg News …
Republican House members such as Katherine Harris of Florida, Candice Miller of Michigan and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia have expressed reservations about Bush’s proposal to partially privatize Social Security by establishing personal investment accounts.
“I’m not sure I’ve heard a solution I’ve agreed with,” said Harris, who as Florida’s secretary of state played a central role in the vote-counting dispute in 2000 with her interpretation of the state’s election laws. Harris, who was elected to the House in 2002, said last year she opposed creating the private accounts unless future benefits are guaranteed.

Harris, who represents a district that contains one of the oldest populations in the U.S., said she was taking seniors’ concerns into account. “I have a very close personal working relationship with the AARP,” said Harris, who voted in favor of Bush proposals 94 percent of the time in 2004.
During the 2004 campaign, Harris responded to an AARP questionnaire issued to Florida candidates by saying she “opposes creating private individual accounts out of Social Security unless she can be assured that Social Security benefits will not be compromised in the future.”
Is it a stampede?
