If anything sums up the current Republican party, it is Katherine Harris. I am watchingthe Harris/Nelson ‘debate,’ and it is painful. When she is not rambling incoherently, she is making weird faces and smiling inappropriately at audience members. It is bit surreal, particularly since Nelson himself has a very odd speaking style.

Or a surprisingly inconsistent offensive line. Cowher is faulting the boss. “Obviously, there’s a lot of disappointment to be sitting here at 2-5.
