Harris Taps Campaign Chest — for Home MakeoverRep. Katherine Harris (R-FL) — who, when pollsters last checked, was trailing her Democratic challenger for Senate by 33 points — has withdrawn $100,000 from her campaign war chest for a personal expense. (Remember, she pledged to put her entire life’s worth into that war chest, in order to win the race. Of course, to date she’s only put in $3.5 million.)
Why would she remove funds she desperately needs to fund a campaign that’s showing every recognized sign of tanking (as well as some new ones we’ve never seen before)?
To remodel her Washington, D.C. home.
Is it a gesture of how sure she is of winning? Is that why she’s made it a de facto campaign expense, using money from her campaign instead of the millions of personal wealth she’s held in reserve?
