Republican Taking On Wasserman Schultz Launches Money Bomb
Supporters of Karen Harrington, the South Florida restaurant owner who challenged U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., as the Republican candidate in 2010, are launching a money bomb as their candidate aims for a rematch in 2012.
The Harrington team trashed Wasserman Schultz for not calling for civility while in her capacity as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and not restraining allies in the Congressional Black Caucus and in organized labor for attacking the tea party. The Harrington camp hopes to raise $25,000 by the end of next week.
