She announced that she was contributing $10 million of her own money
to her campaign for use in the general election.
"As a former classmate of Harris' put it to me in an e-mail, 'First
she helped President George (W.) Bush steal an election. Now she is
trying to buy one,' " said David Donnelly, director of the Public
Campaign Action Fund, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated
to campaign finance laws.

Katherine Harris: On the skids
By AMIE PARNES
Mar 18, 2006
Rep. Katherine Harris, R-Fla., insists she won't drop out of the race
for the Senate from her state, but even Republicans admit her campaign
is in disarray.
She has low poll numbers, a lackluster campaign war chest, and a
dwindling staff.
On top of that, Harris has been linked in recent weeks to a defense
contractor, Mitchell Wade, who is embroiled in a bribery case and is
accused of donating thousands of dollars in illegal campaign
contributions.
Wade pleaded guilty last week to bribing former California Congressman
Randy "Duke" Cunningham with $1 million in gifts.
Wade also said he illegally contributed thousands of dollars to
Harris' 2004 congressional campaign.
