Campaign Says (Katherine) Harris Won't Turn To Inheritance
Edited on Sun Mar-26-06 04:18 AM by K8-EEE
In an effort to jump-start her sputtering Senate campaign, Rep. Katherine Harris went on national television invoking the memory of her late father and saying the money he left her will form the financial foundation of her challenge to Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson.

Now the Harris campaign says that's not the case.

2. Grandstand much, Katherine?
Telling everyone about her "sainted" father and how she's going to put his legacy to her on the line.....because she believes that strongly about it! :puke: More lies from the wicked witch of the south. I knew she wouldn't go through with it. Why, when she loses she'd be a broke, penniless, and her former "friends" in Florida seem to have forgotten who she is. She's not going to risk being penniless and having to get a REAL job for the first time in her life. She must have found a way to stick the taxpayers with the bill, it's the Republican way.

Just go sway, Katherine. No one wants your plastic boobs, your collagen smile and your nip-tucked face in office. There's nothing real about you, so GO AWAY!

5. $10 million is a drop in the bucket
Her daddy left an estate worth over $700 million. Not to mention the $200+ million she got from her grandpa. Cruela has a long way to go before she'd lose it all.

4. "donors might turn skittish." Lets hope they run run run from her



...Harris' supporters had hoped the $10 million announcement would level the financial playing field with Nelson -- he has raised far more money -- and prompt GOP donors to take their candidate more seriously.

If there are now questions about where that money will come from, donors might turn skittish.

Moreover, if Harris has decided not to use inheritance money, it will undermine her attempts to portray herself as willing to give up everything for her constituents.

On ABC this week, she said by the end of the campaign, "I won't have anything left."

But if inheritance money is no longer in play, Harris might still have millions -- $10 million if her earlier statements are accurate -- to fall back on.

6. Why doesn't she just change her name to Cracky McCrackpot
This is going to make her look like an even bigger lunatic. Nelson doesn't need to campaign...she is doing a good enough job for them both.

7. Um, could this have something to do with it?
From the article:

>>It may be that the estate money will take time to make its way through the court.<<

17. Yeah but will the MSM get this out to the people?

20. Disgusting ploy, invoking a dead parent's memory for sentimentality
She is beyond repulsive. She is an uber-puke.
