They took a candidate out of the race with superstar name recognition, and replaced her with a candidate who could very well lose in the primary. Don't tell me that won't look stupid.

That won't look stupid. It will look like a Dem seat stayed in Dem hands.

You're assuming Rep. Harris would have won the Senate seat. That's a strong assumption.

It is an open seat in a state that is generally Republican. It's house, sneate, and governor are Republicans, and Florida usually goes GOP in Presidential elections. It is a seat that should have been picked up.

Harris did have a 5 point lead over the Democrat, the GOP leading candidate is now trailing by about 5. So far it does not appear to be a brilliant move. It was a very winnable seat, but the Dems appear to have the advantage now.
