Democrat group plans debate watch party tonight

By Bill Cotterell
Tallahassee Democratic Political Editor

With Senator Bill Nelson running far ahead of US Representative Catherine Harris in the polls, Florida Democrats are pretty happy about his re-election prospects -- but one of the party's debate-watching parties tonight could be a real drag.

The Florida Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Democratic Caucus will host a debate watch party featuring a Katherine Harris look-alike contest in Broward County. The contest is set for 9 p.m., right after the debate, and is open to both men and women.

The $10-per-person event is scheduled at Rosie's, formerly Hamburger Mary's, in Wilton Manors. Proceeds go to the Democratic Vote Center in Fort Lauderdale.
