Katherine who?

The Republican ticket is touting unity in a fly-around today featuring Jeb Bush, Tom Gallagher, Charlie Crist, Bill McCollum and Tom Lee. Conspicuously absent is the lady at the top of the ticket - Katherine Harris. The one-big-happy-family GOP team naturally denied any slight to their U.S. Senate nominee.

"I wish she was (here),''said Crist.

"I was told there was to be a flyaround by state cabinet and governor hopefuls,'' Bronson explained outside a Cuban restaurant in Hialeah.

UPDATE: “The Republican Party seems afraid of its own shadow,” said Florida Democratic Party spokesman, Mark Bubriski. “Katherine Harris and Charlie Crist both won the right to appear at the top of their ticket, yet the Republican Party acts like she doesn’t even exist.”---Joni James
