Editor's note: This profile didn't air Wednesday because of the plane crash in New York. As of this writing, 2 1/2 hours before air, it is in tonight's rundown, so I'm resurfacing this post.
Correspondent Mark Potter tonight profiles controversial Florida Republican Senate Candidate Katherine Harris. We interviewed the candidate on Oct. 5 in Lakeland, Fla. Harris told Mark that she feels she's isn't getting any support from the GOP leadership because "they can't control me." And despite recent poll numbers showing her at least 18 points behind incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson, Harris says she believes Florida voters will turn out for her. Harris also talks about her pivotal roll as Florida secretary of state in the 2000 presidential election.

Link to thisWe are traveling in the mountains of Guatemala for a story to air this Friday as part of our "Making a Difference" series. You´ll see much more about the great program we are here to cover then. But as we drove from Antigua (at the base of the mountains just outside Guatemala City) to Lake Atitlan Tuesday, another story was very apparent. That´s the effects of Hurricane Stan. Stan hit this area this fall, just a few days before the devastating earthquake in Pakistan. In the midst of a very busy hurricane season and then a much more deadly event in South Asia, Stan got very little attention. But for those who live here, it has over taken their lives. In terms of deaths, people here say Stan wasn't all that bad. In this part of the world, that means the loss of life is measured in the thousands rather than the tens of thousands.
