WHAT DO GOD, LORD OF THE RINGS, AND THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS HAVE IN COMMON?

They are apparantly big inspirations for Congresswoman Katherine Harris (R - Longboat Key). At least, that is what the Palm Beach Post reports that she told an estimated 800 conservative Christians at a conference held this weekend at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, pastored by televangelist Dr. D. James Kennedy.

Ms. Harris never directly mentioned her bid to unseat Democratic incumbant Bill Nelson during her remarks at the "Reclaiming America for Christ" conference.

Besides our Almighty Creator, the two term congresswoman did say that she was inspired as a teenager by the movie The Last of the Mohicans because "people were willing to die for something bigger than themselves". She also told the gathering that she was moved by the Lord of Rings movies, saying they, too, suggest that sometimes your mission in life is bigger than the individual.

Of course, there were reporters present hoping to catch a word or two about her campaign. Ms. Harris scheduled two press conferences last week, only to cancel at nearly the last minute. Once again, the media hounds were disappointed. Harris refused to speak to reporters, leaving to attend an event in West Palm Beach.

Someday soon, she's got to follow the advice of country music great Kenny Rogers:

You got to know when to hold ’em,
Know when to fold ’em,
Know when to walk away,
And know when to run...
