HarrisWatch: I’m Sellin’ My House… I Swear!

The stage is set for Rep. Katherine Harris’ (R-FL) dramatic last minute comeback. She’s down 20 points in the polls. Her campaign is way behind in fundraising ($1 million in the bank compared to Sen. Bill Nelson’s $6.8 million). She’s a national laughingstock. But she’s not giving up. She won’t ever give up. In fact, she’s even going to sell her Washington D.C. house.

That’s right. To prove that she’s “committed,” Harris has said that she’s selling her home to generate campaign funds.

All she has to do is find the right buyer. But as The Orlando Sentinel notes, Pink Sugar seems to be taking her own sweet time:

Harris has talked about selling her Washington, D.C. home for months, but former staffers have said they saw no sign she was preparing to do so. On Tuesday, two Washington real-estate agents said there is no indication the four-bedroom house near Capitol Hill was ever placed in the multiple-listing service, a database of properties for sale.

Harris’ spokeswoman tells the paper that Harris isn’t going the realtor route, but that doesn’t mean it’s not for sale:

Harris spokeswoman Jennifer Marks said Harris is not using a multiple-listing service. She said Harris has already shown the home to potential buyers and has someone available to show the home when she is not in Washington.

“She’s hopeful she’ll be able to sell her Washington residence shortly,” Marks said.

Hmm. A cynic would note that it’s probably a good move for Harris to sell her Washington home regardless — since she’ll likely be out of office by January. But with only three weeks left in the campaign, she doesn’t seem to be in much of a rush.
