Rep. (Katherine) Harris lent $250,000 to sagging Senate bid in Fla.
Rep. Katherine Harris (R-Fla.) lent $250,000 of her own money late last year to her sagging Senate campaign, a Republican familiar with campaign operations said.

The congresswoman is expected to announce next week that she raised roughly $1 million in the final quarter of 2005, said former Florida GOP Executive Director Geoffrey Becker. That total will include Harris’s personal contribution.

Many other Florida Republicans confirmed the $1 million fundraising figure but declined to speak publicly about the Harris campaign.

(snip)

“If she has any pride, she’ll be out in a month,” said a Republican with close ties to Harris campaign officials. “If she cares about her party, she’ll be out in a month. Otherwise, the Senatorial Committee won’t do a thing and she’ll get beat by 15 points.”

And if you go to anorexic sights - pro ana-, one of top symptoms is self-loathing. I always remember that when thinking about andy coulter. Harris doesn't look anorexic to me, she looks like a dumb sh@#, and like you said, a horses ass.

20. Ha! Lackluster 3rd quarter. Poor Cruella.
>>Since entering the Senate race last summer, Harris has faced several hurdles: opposition from the Republican National Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee; lackluster third-quarter fundraising that campaign aides attributed to Hurricane Katrina; and staff shakeups, including Campaign Manager Jim Dornan’s resignation.<<

>>At the end of the third quarter, Sept. 30, Nelson had $6.5 million on hand, having raised $1.9 million during that time. In contrast, Harris had $470,000, having raised just less than $500,000.<<

Geeze, *sniffle, I'm needing a kleenex here. The tears are flowing
(from laughter)

33. I would like to see her turn on the repukes and write a book telling
all she knows about the fix of the 2000 election. Then become a liberal and spend the rest of her life fighting repukes.
