Meanwhile candidates are lining up to run for Harris's house seat, including Republican State Representative Nancy Detert of Venice. Detert says it's possible - but not probable - that Harris will give up the Senate race and instead run to hold onto current job.

"Katherine Harris never goes backwards - she's been in this position before and she just never goes backwards. I think she will continue forward in her U.S. Senate race or just totally drop out, but I don't think she's going to drop back into this race, in fact I'd pretty much bet the farm on it"

Harris house seat is comprised of a slice Charlotte and all of Sarasota, Manatee, DeSoto and Hardee counties.

Meanwhile Harris has pledged to o spend ten (m) million dollars of her own money to continue in the senate contest that polls show her badly trailing.
