PORT CHARLOTTE -- Already trying to avoid the media, Longboat Key Republican Katherine Harris is now canceling campaign stops in Southwest Florida as questions swirl about her ties to a Washington, D.C., defense contractor at the center of an ongoing national bribery scandal.

Harris, who is running for the U.S. Senate, abruptly canceled a stop in Charlotte County on Saturday, and four other events planned for Lee and Collier counties were removed from her campaign Web site.

It's another sign that Harris' struggling campaign is now in full crisis mode. Political consultants say that shying away from the public right now is also a bad strategy.

"She can't hide and expect this to go away," said David Johnson, a Republican political consultant. "It looks like her campaign is circling the wagons."

Snip...

After that dinner meeting, Harris put in a $10 million budget request to the Defense Appropriations subcommittee to fund the project. Days later, an employee in Harris' congressional office went to work for Wade at MZM.

Snip...

The best thing going for Harris, said Sabato, is that most Americans already believe Washington is so corrupt that Harris hasn't done anything abnormal.

Most people already believe everyone in Congress takes bundles of cash from contractors, he said, and may see nothing new or outrageous about a scenario in which a contractor asks Harris for favors over dinner.


Snip...

"It's going to get worse," Johnson said. "Nobody is going to want to give her money."
