...Florida by as many as 8 points in some polls, though others still show the race a virtual dead heat. The nation's financial crisis is of course a factor: Florida is getting waylaid by home foreclosures at a rate few other states can match, and business owners like Geyer and her husband are having to undertake painful employee layoffs to stay afloat.

Harris, who won Sarasota's congressional seat in 2002 but was badly defeated in her 2006 Senate bid, is more like Everycountryclubmatron compared with Palin's Everyhockeymom.
