AP reports:

Rep. Katherine Harris, who as secretary of state oversaw Florida’s 2000 recount that gave George Bush the presidency, easily won the Republican nomination to challenge Sen. Bill Nelson, shrugging off critics who derided her campaign as spectacularly inept.

“Tonight I say to Bill Nelson: Come home, Bill. Enough is enough,” Harris said Tuesday.

Also, apparently it’s now okay for mainstream reporters to state as fact that Harris is “widely ridiculed” — that’s generally the kind of observation journos like to hedge behind a quote. Anyway, Katie, I’m glad you’re still with us. On to November!
