I guess the bright side of this is that Murphy's career will be over.

Yeah, Murphy pissed away a winnable Senate seat by not agreeing to the debates and well, being Murphy. The FL-Dems need to get their act together if they want to win statewide. As it is, Im surprised they even got Nelson

Democrats not willing to spend on Florida race, aiding Rubio

And with Trump dragging down Republican candidates across the country, some here see a potential path to victory not just for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, but also for Murphy, a second-term congressman with low name recognition.

"Sen. Rubio is a fatally flawed candidate and apparently some of the major newspapers in Florida felt the same way," said Jim Manley, a Democratic consultant in Washington and former aide to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. "I only hope the DSCC is going to reconsider and start pouring money into the race, because he's beatable."

A spokeswoman for the Senate Democratic committee, Sadie Weiner, declined to comment on the group's spending decisions. She said Murphy "has done an outstanding job in this race," adding: "We've been proud to endorse Patrick and help his campaign with targeted investments and we will continue that for the next three weeks."

But the Democrats' pull-back from Florida has angered some of the state's top donors, who have been unsuccessfully pleading with New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, who is closely involved with DSCC decision-making, to rethink the call.

The Senate Majority PAC, a super PAC run by former aides to Reid and Schumer, also is spending only a fraction of what it had planned, erasing its remaining ad buy for Murphy.

Democrats with knowledge of the spending decisions argue it is prohibitively expensive to advertise in Florida. Advertising by outside groups costs some $3 million a week compared to $1.5 million a week in North Carolina, $1 million a week in Indiana and $750,000 a week in Missouri.

C'mon, Chuck, he weaselled out of the Gang of 8 Bill! Ugh.

At least it somewhat validates my decision not to vote for him this year. (Schumer)
