Harris

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.

Campaign spokeswoman Morgan Dobbs said Thursday that Harris will sell her existing assets rather than rely on money from her father, a bank executive who died in January.

"It is my understanding from her statements that she does not plan to use inherited money on the campaign -- rather, money from liquidating her personal assets, which she says total $10 million," Dobbs wrote in an e-mail to the Orlando Sentinel.

"I think I am being pretty clear."

However, Dobbs' explanation is at odds with the message Harris has been delivering for more than a week.

I don't care how she buys her way in. I simply do not want the election thief of Florida in the US senate. Not that it isn't full of crooks already. It is.

I just wish someone would explain to me why no one who isn't a millionaire has a seat in the senate. What's that about, huh? Corruption? Broken political process? Republican fucked over media that no longer functions as anything remotely resembling a free press, let alone a 4th estate?
