In other election news, a Florida man has been arrested for attempting to run over Congresswoman Katherine Harris in her hometown of Sarasota Florida. Harris is the former Republican Sec. of State who played a major role in the Florida recount. The driver, Barry Seltzer, denied trying to kill her but he did drive his Cadillac up onto the sidewalk near where she stood. He said “I was exercising my political expression. I did not run them down, I scared them a little.”
