Katherine Harris Reminder: She has to spend her money, not dads
I for one will laugh my ass off when Ms. Harris has to create a Linda Tripp or Rick Lazio, creating a website to hopefully get a few donations from the republicans that discarded them after they were no longer of use

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Campaign funding pledge continues to haunt Harris

St. Petersburg Times
After months of hearing members of even her own party second guess her run for the U.S. Senate, Katherine Harris said she would pump $10 million of her own money into her financially strapped campaign.

In an emotional announcement on national TV in March, Harris said she would use every penny her late father had left her.

Minutes later, while still in the New York studio where she made the announcement, Harris received a call from her sister. She and their brother were furious that she had not told them she was going to spend family money on her campaign, according to her former senior consultant Ed Rollins, who was with her that night.

In the days that followed, several former staffers, including Rollins, said Harris learned she would not directly receive any inheritance from her father. Instead, his assets, reported to be as much as $100 million, were left to her mother, Harriet.

Harris, a millionaire in her own right, quietly regrouped and changed her plan, telling employees and supporters that she was going to liquidate everything she had to fund the campaign.
