HarrisWatch: “Pink Sugar” to Debate Self

The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports — with bonus revenge quote from former Harris staffer:

Katherine Harris won’t have to worry about her opponents in the U.S. Senate race taking more shots at her during a candidates’ “showdown” in Jacksonville today.

They weren’t invited.

Although the Florida League of Cities promoted its forum today as one of the first to bring all of the gubernatorial and Senate candidates together, the nonpartisan group didn’t invite any of the three Republicans challenging Harris on the Sept. 5 ballot. They did, however, invite Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat, who is unopposed in the Democratic primary… . Nelson has already said he won’t be able to attend.

“It’s a one-person debate,” said Chris Ingram, a former Harris spokesman, who is now the spokesman for LeRoy Collins, one of Harris’ three Republican challengers. “I hope she doesn’t lose.”
