rss feedWith three weeks until Election Day, U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris has less than $1 million in the bank, an amount that leaves her Senate campaign all but dead in the water, according to political analysts.
Unless Harris dumps millions of her own money into the campaign, there is little chance she'll dent the double-digit lead of Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson.

University of Central Florida professor Aubrey Jewett agreed.

As of Sept. 30, Harris had about $964,000 on hand, according to campaign-finance reports.

Nelson had raised about $17 million, compared with Harris' $8.7 million.
