Sen. Goss
As if we needed any more rumors in the Katherine Harris soap opera. The surprise resignation of CIA chief Porter Goss has my blackberry humming with wild speculation about him jumping into the U.S. Senate race. Given his rocky tenure at the CIA that seems hard to swallow but....

"He'd be an awesome candidate,'' CFO candidate Tom Gallagher said when asked about the Goss for senate talk. When we suggested Goss' CIA experience might explain why this would be the best kept political secret in Florida, Gallagher didn't miss a beat: "That would be about the only secret they kept."

Meanwhile here's more fodder for the Senate race speculation: President Bush will be in Florida Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Katherine Harris' campaign says she accepted the White House's invitation to join him in Sun City Tuesday. A spokesman for Allan Bense says the speaker learned of the president's visit from the press and that he has no plans to join the president.
