Sen. Elizabeth Dole said she has put some of own money into her re-election campaign, but declined to say how much until her campaign report comes out on Friday.

She called her personal money "an investment" and putting "some skin in the game," Rob Christensen reports.

Dole, a Republican seeking re-election, said she has raised $3 million in campaign contributions since July 1. Her opponent, Democrat Kay Hagan, reported raising $2.6 mllion during that period.

But Dole said she was concerned about all the money being spent against her in the independent ad camapign paid for by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

"Ten million dollars of of it is coming in right after me in some of the most ugly, nasty ads I have ever seen," Dole said.

"It's like you are running against Chuck Schumer to be honest," Dole said, referring to the New York Democratic senator who is chairman of the Senate committee.

She said that she can’t even turn on her favorite program, "Law and Order," without being bombarded by Senatorial committee ads attacking her.

"I think Chuck found out I like Law and Order," Dole said.
