Congressional Catfight, Final Round: Harris vs. Schmidt
All good things must come to an end -- and that includes Congressional Catfight. We've milked this competition for all it's worth, and now it's time to crown a victor.
The last two warriors left standing are worthy adversaries. Katherine Harris (on left) emerged victorious from a tournament featuring eight fearsome challengers . Jean Schmidt (on right) defeated four wild-card contenders to win the right to take on Harris.
They have very different personal styles. Harris's elegant, patrician facade conceals an iron will, which she demonstrated most (in)famously in the 2000 election. She may look real pretty; but don't be deceived by this "steel magnolia." Underneath the impeccably-tailored suits beats the heart of a fierce fighter.
Schmidt is another story entirely. With her red, white and blue jumpsuits, and her rough-around-the-edges appearance, no one could confuse her for a fashion plate. "Mean Jean" just looks crazy and nasty -- and she fights that way, too.
Now, without further ado, the Catfight:
We'll keep the polls open until tomorrow morning. So rev up your mouses, and start your clicking!
