Harris pledges to stay in race
Katherine Harris ends the suspense and says she's still running against Sen. Bill Nelson, bolstered by a $10 million infusion of cash from her own pocket.

WASHINGTON - A defiant Katherine Harris took to the cable airwaves Wednesday to declare she's staying in the U.S. Senate race, pledging to boost her beleaguered campaign with $10 million left to her by her late father.

It was a nationally televised gesture meant to quash nearly two weeks of rampant speculation over her campaign, which has struggled to gain traction and campaign dollars since it began last summer.

''Let me answer the burning questions,'' the Sarasota Republican congresswoman said in a largely sympathetic interview with Fox News Channel talk-show host Sean Hannity. ``I'm in this race and I'm going to win.''

Harris vowed to put ''everything on the line'' for the race in which she remains an underdog to unseat U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson -- the only Democrat to hold statewide office in Florida.

1. Please. Let her spend every dime.

Let her wind up on a soup line.

2. Unfortunately, she has millions more from where this came from

She got a few $100 million from grandpa and her daddy who died a few years ago was worth over $750 million. $10 million is pocket change for this girl. Heck, her annual makeup bill is probably more then that.
