Story of 'Joe's dead intern' began Harris' slide, insiders say
Katherine Harris to Republican donors: Joe Scarborough killed one of his interns.
Katherine Harris' floundering US Senate campaign lost its high-level staff again this week and is groping for a message -- which doesn't surprise Republican insiders who trace the seeds of her trouble to the story of "Joe's dead intern."
This wasn't any old Joe. It was Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC's Scarborough Country and a former Pensacola Republican congressman who was courted last summer by national Republicans to run against Harris. But before he could announce he wouldn't, Harris called major donors and suggested Scarborough would have to answer questions about the strange death of a former staff member in 2001, according to two former high-level Harris staff members, a GOP donor and Scarborough.
"That was the first clue that something wasn't right with Katherine Harris," Scarborough said.
