In what could be a telling sign, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee cancelled an ad buy set for the end of September in the Florida Senate race, The Miami Herald reported Tuesday.
Republicans seized on the move as evidence that Democrats were “bailing” on Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL) in his race against Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), according to The Miami Herald.
For it’s part the DSCC claimed that they delayed the ad buy initially set to run Sept. 20-26 in order to free up resources for spending closer to Election Day.
“This spending is simply being moved to come later in the election to backload our current Florida buy,” a DSCC official told The Miami Herald.
Murphy is locked in a tough race against incumbent Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). According to TPM’s PollTracker Average, Rubio is leading Murphy 44.1 to 41.7.
Little Marco will be sweating this out until election day.
I stopped donating to the DSCC years ago. Not that I was ever a donor that they really gave 2 shits about.
Typical Fla Dem Party
Questionable candidate running against a guy who should be easy to beat.
Competence dare not speak it’s name.
The pacs have been hammering this guy since May . The problem is most of the poo they are flinging …mostly true
From the same guys that brought you Republican turned Independent turned Democrat Charlie Christ vs Rick Scott a universally loathed governor
At least they’re consistent ,. No Surprises
Are we really hurting for that money?
Run both ad campaigns and more ffs, it’s worth it.
This is just so sad…Rubio doesn’t even WANT the job but has nowhere else to go. Murphy would be great, wants the job and would work for the American people. WTF?
