A little nervous about Katherine Harris' infusion of 10M of her own cash.
Keith Olberman mentioned this in passing, something to the effect of "Even though polls show the Democratic contender beating her by 20 points, as Katherine Harris would be the first to point out, 'It ain't over till all the votes are counted'."

Chilling! I can't imagine a Rethug who would invest 10 Million of their own cash into something they thought they might have a chance to lose. Do Katherine Harris and the technicians who "service" the polling devices know something we don't?

1. She's worth at least a half a billion
$10 million is probably her average Mary Kay bill.

8. Got a big chunk from Grandpa
and then another even bigger chunk when her daddy died a few years ago.

6. I'm showing that's just about all her money, not some fraction of it.
I tried Googling with "Harris is worth" and "Katherine Harris" and the three links that came up all stated around 7 Million dollars.

Does anyone have a link describing this alleged extra wealth?

9. Interesting exercise in "Follow the money" maybe
I'd like to know where it comes from. Bet it is Saudi Arabia, via Carlyle Group or Bush Sr.

10. Frankly, I think the people will be turned off by this
What a waste of an inheritance. Her ancestors worked hard for this money, and she's just throwing it away. This will turn out to be very bad for her. She'll lose and she'll be broke.
