Pandering? What Pandering?

Remember Katherine Harris, the Bush operative in Florida during the 2000 presidential election who parlayed that into a seat in the House of Representatives? One of the greatest of the GOPs many political flameouts this year has been her self-destructing campaign for US Senate. Things being as bad as they are, she's taken a hard turn right to pander towards her base a little bit. As Raw Story reports, Harris gave an interview to the Florida Baptist Witness in which she lays it on the line in terms of God and politics:

we have to have the faithful in government and over time, that lie we have been told, the separation of church and state, people have internalized, thinking that they needed to avoid politics and that is so wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers.
First, notice the term "rulers," not "leaders." How . . . regal. Second, does that mean that when Harris goes down in flames this fall that it's God's will? I'll keep that in mind.
