Katherine Harris Feels Stabbed in Back by Bush

Katherine Harris and her backers are upset with the White House for attempting to get Florida State House Speaker Allan Bense to run against Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson in 2006. Katherine Harris has already announced her intent to run.

Harris has every reason to be upset. She stepped aside in 2004 to allow Bush-favored Mel Martinez to run for the Senate. And considering that Bush's election would have been stolen by Democrats in 2000 without the help of Katherine Harris, I think they owe it to her not to block her election - and yes, even support her. It doesn't matter if the Left screams of a quid pro quo.
