The DSCC just messed up big time.

Having said that, if they win NC/MO/In and lose FL, with data suggesting they would have lost the aforementioned three seats without the spending, it was probably worth it. Also, why didn't Murphy agree to the debates? Damn.

Republicans should be sending "Thank you" notes to Rubio because Murphy would have won in a landslide against any other GOP candidate (Beruff comes to my mind, lol).

It's like the RSCC watched Fullmetal Alchemist, created a special transmutation circle, and, using the law of Equivalent Exchange, traded their Indiana seat for the Florida seat. Thats the only way i can explain Rubio and Bayh

No. This was wrong three months ago and is wrong now. Beruff is not comparable to the other mainstream Senate candidates who would all be roughly tied with Murphy because of an all-around lack of name recognition. Nobody wins landslides in Florida except MAYBE Bill Nelson in a good year. Your little narrative has always been a baseless delusion and you should stop trying to peddle it.

Still, "roughly tied" is a lot worse for the Senate Republicans than "comfortable Rubio win." Generic D and Generic R would have gotten washed up in the Presidential tide and that would have meant a Murphy victory

If Rubio wins by 4% or less, hopefully this gets egg on the DSCC's face.

To play devil's advocate, if Kander/Ross/Cortez Mastro win by smaller margins (considering that's where the DSCC is sending that money) then it will have been worth it. 3 Senators is better than 1.

However, if Rubio goes on to become President after this, egg meet face
