OH, GREAT

I was disappointed when Bob Graham announced that he wouldn't seek re-election to the Senate.

Now, my mood has shifted . . . towards mortified.

Published reports say Rep. Katherine Harris is "seriously considering" running for the U.S. Senate.

Harris became a Republican darling during the 2000 presidential election problems in Florida. She was Secretary of State at the time, but rode the wave to a seat in Congress.

Harris is still in her first term. But she tells the Orlando Sentinel she and her husband will "seriously consider" a run for the Senate.

Some observers say a decision to enter the race would make Harris the automatic Republican front-runner.

Sen. Bob Graham announced early this week that he would not run for another term, setting up primary dogfights in both parties.

Seriously, we need to stop this. We have three options:
1) a massive effort to get Bob to change his mind
2) is Dan Marino a Democrat?
3) turn Harris over to the custody of the state's child welfare system, and hopefully Jeb will lose track of her in there.
