Finally, some love for Katherine Harris.
After a week of bashing by her fellow Republicans -- including Gov. Jeb Bush -- Sen. Mel Martinez gave the nod to Harris on Friday and said he plans to endorse her candidacy for the United States Senate.
"I think the best thing she can do is to focus on her race, on the issues and her opponent and their differences and why she would be a great senator from the state of Florida for this country," Martinez said. "I wish her well and I will be endorsing her -- if I have not already done so. I think I already...but I will be, I am sure, campaigning with her."
Harris said she welcomes Martinez's support.
"I am grateful for Senator Martinez’s friendship, support, and endorsement," she said. "I look forward to having him with me on the campaign trail and serving with him in the United States Senate.”
