Cruella De Vil for governor? (Orlando Sentinel)

You can hardly pick up a paper these days without stumbling across yet another story on who likely will be elected president more than three years from now.

It's hard to care this far out, but those so attuned would do well to skip the speculation and watch Florida in 2006. The nation's fourth-largest and perhaps most politically diverse state, Florida has replaced California as the new Petri dish. What happens there may be the best indicator for what will happen in the rest of the country come election time.

And 2006 is an especially significant year for Democrats, who this time have a fair shot at the governorship. As the unofficial roster goes, three Democrats and three Republicans likely will run.

The key to that race, however -- and therefore to the 2008 presidential race -- may lie with the woman who is second only to Hillary Clinton as a political lightning rod.

Peter Principle and Diebold of course!

The stupidity of FL is endless...

She might be the Darling of the Republican party. But she really pissed off alot of Florida Minoritys.

People are dragging because of the Bush selection. Both in 2000 and 2004. Voters know this were not "right."

Harris would keep it in the NEWS. And make it an ISSUE.

It would be a great for the Democrats. So long as they pick a canidate that the PEOPLE want and not like they did last time. FORCE a canidate on the people.

"If you're a Democrat, you get down on your knees three times a day and pray that Katherine Harris will run for the U.S. Senate in 2006 because nothing -- not a terrorist attack on ACLU headquarters or, heaven forbid, a price hike on tattoo ink -- could energize Democrats the way a Harris candidacy would.

If you're a Republican, you pray equally fervently that Harris will discover a deep and impatient passion for Tibetan architecture and Himalayan backpacking. You find yourself Googling for Sherpas in your spare time."

they still control the vote-counting.

The discussion is actually about Harris running for the Senate in 2006, and what effect her being on the ballot will have on voter turnout etc. The title makes it sound as if she might run for Governor, which isn't the case.
