TAMPA - Katherine Harris appeared to be coasting to an easy victory Tuesday night in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate.

With 38 percent of the precincts reporting at 9:15 p.m., Harris was leading with 49.85 percent of the vote. Her closest competitor, Windermere attorney Will McBride, had 30.05 percent. Retired Admiral Leroy Collins, Jr. of Tampa had 14.65 percent and Safety Harbor developer Peter Monroe trailed with 5.36 percent.

The Republican primary sets the stage for a general election race against incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson.

About 80 Harris supporters waited eagerly for the candidate to arrive at the Tampa hotel where her campaign was holding an "election watch" party. Most circled a buffet table loaded with pizza and salad. Others took photos of a giant white layer cake featuring a photo likeness of a smiling Harris framed with red, white and blue icing or watched returns on a plasma television.

The 49-year-old millionaire congresswoman was on the verge of overcoming more than three relatively unknown opponents. State and national party leaders asked her to bow out of the race in the face of a Washington lobbying scandal that has federal investigators combing through her congressional and campaign records.

blah, blah

I'm calling it, Harris has been holding about 50% for the last hour.

I'd like to imagine that the Republican's really do have a sense of humor. Either that or they are a spiteful bunch. I believe I already know that answer.

Atleast the vile propganda in my mailbox should be interesting the next two months.

I've been so wrapped up in her daily faux pas parade that I was unaware that she was in a PRIMARY race. Everything I've heard was her v Nelson.

Jazzy, you live somewhere withing 2000 miles of FLA, right? Could you answer something for me?

Exactly how lame does a person have to be to lose a primary to an unbalanced plastic surgery junkie whose party has already chucked under a moving bus? (Okay, it's rhetorical.)

The Uncle Sam? Looks like SOMEONE is noticing my stuff...
