U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris slogged through another political morass Saturday when she suggested that one of her most senior advisers had fed embarrassing information to the press.
Appearing at a gun show in Orlando, Harris said that Adam Goodman, her longtime media consultant, had told the St. Petersburg Times that he and chief strategist Ed Rollins were leaving the campaign.
The story, Harris said, was wrong.
"Ed is not leaving my campaign," the Longboat Key Republican said. "Ed Rollins is very committed to my campaign."
The two-term congresswoman, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, then accused Goodman of spreading the story.
"That article basically came from Adam," Harris said, "and it was not accurate."
Asked whether Goodman was still with the campaign, she said: "He is, is, uh . . . heh . . . no comment."
Harris' remarks were surprising, because Goodman has worked with Harris for years and is considered one of her closest advisers. The candidate's words became puzzling when Harris phoned the Orlando Sentinel an hour later with a different story. |
