Katherine Harris In Hot Water For Accepting Excess Campaign Donations
FEC questions Harris donations
Her staff may have made coding errors when processing money

By JEREMY WALLACE

The Federal Election Commission is questioning $60,000 in excess campaign donations to U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris, R-Longboat Key.

Harris, who was once in charge of Florida's campaign financing rules and twice has been singled out for accepting illegal campaign donations during previous runs for office, is examining her campaign reports after the FEC flagged donations above the legal limit.

"We are in receipt of the letter and are researching it," said Chris Ingram, spokesman for the Harris campaign.

Ingram said the FEC routinely sends out letters for additional information as part of its compliance efforts.

1. Good - I hope they turn up the heat and boil the rotten bitch!
Katherine Harris is a major contributor to creating this mess we're in.

2. She sure is a glutton for punishment, isn't she?
I think the longer she hangs in there, the worse it gets for the Retrashlicans. She's just muddling things up; they can't get a clear candidate out there.

Let's face it: Katherine is a high-profile candidate! She swings those boobs around and the photogs click away. It's going to be really hard for Jeb to push somebody else out there because....

she's just a show-stopper! Enjoy, Jeb.
