This year's Katherine Harris?

I don't really want to think about it, but what if Florida happens all over (and it could be there or Iowa or Michigan or Minnesota or New Mexico or Ohio or Pennsylvania or Wisonsin)?  Who would be the new Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush?

Well, to start on the bright side, four of these states are firmly in Democratic hands, with both governor and secretary of state positions held by Democrats -- IA, NM, PA and WI.  One has a Democratic governor and a Republican Sec'y of State -- MI.  And a big three have Republicans in both positions -- FL, MN and OH.

If one of these has to make a Secretary of State famous, I'd like it to be Wisconsin, for old time's sake.  The Secretary of State of Wisconsin is named Douglas La Follette.
