Harris prevails in vote 'for fun'
Advertisements [?]
that's the ONLY way this witch will win:

KISSIMMEE -- U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris won the straw poll at the Osceola Hob Nob on Thursday, picking up 39 percent of the vote, compared with Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson's 36 percent.

Scientific polling consistently has shown Nelson far outdistancing Harris, though the congresswoman from Longboat Key is expected to win the Republican primary. The straw poll results indicate the heavy Republican turnout.

"It's about as unscientific as a poll can be," said Mike Horner, director of the Kissimmee-Osceola Chamber of Commerce, which hosted the Hob Nob. "It's all just for fun."

About 1,500 people showed up to the biennial political event at the Kissimmee Civic Center, with about 400 casting votes in the straw poll for local, state and federal elections.
