Katherine Harris is bidding fair to be the worst candidate for major office in the United States since Clayton Williams ran for the Texas governorship in 1990 and told reporters that the weather was just like rape, where if you don’t have a choice you might as well lie back and enjoy it. Here’s Harris’s Claytie moment. In an interview with a Baptist paper, she said, “If you’re not electing Christians then in essence you are going to legislate sin.” Now, let’s see here. Miss Harris is running for statewide office in FLORIDA. Guess which religious-ethnic group makes up a significant constituency in Florida?

The question is, how big a landslide is Sen. Bill Nelson going to win, exactly, in November? Hard to say. There are a few months left, and Harris evidently has a mouth that was made for sticking a foot in.
