HarrisWatch: Don’t Call It a Comeback!Rumors are flying that Katherine “Pink Sugar” Harris may try to re-take her House seat in 2008, Roll Call‘s “Heard on the Hill” column reports (sub. req.).
Harris gave up the seat, which represents Florida’s 13th District, in order to mount her disastrous Senate bid. That district is now the scene of a hotly contested election. Republicans say their candidate, Vern Buchanan, won the seat by a few hundred votes; Democrats charge voting machine glitches illegally prevented thousands of Democratic votes from being counted.
Needless to say, Buchanan would need to lose this fight so Harris could run in ’08. And the federal investigation into Harris would need to conclude without indictment. So for now, us rakers can only wait. .. and hope.
