"....the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has canceled $8 million of the $10 million...."

"Despite that good polling news, Murphy's national funding seems to be drying up. According to the Tampa Bay Times, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has canceled $8 million of the $10 million it planned to spend on ads supporting Murphy. A separate Democratic group, the Senate Majority PAC, has also nixed $6 million of the $10.5 million it planned to spend on him."

Yeah, good fucking plan there.

I wouldn't read in to this as a complete abandonment of Murphy. They may be reallocating the funds to some other close races like NC, NV, and MO. Would need to see some news on the PrioritiesUSA and the Clinton campaign front. Murphy is going to benefit more from her coattails than say Kander in MO so a reallocation of resources isn't completely out of the blue.

pulling away but more like within the MOE. Getting rid of this light weight douche nozzle would be a nice bonus.

Not showing up to work is something even the mouth-breathers in the GOP can understand.

I watch the morning weather and traffic news. Every day the Thugs run commercials bashing Murphy.

Then too there is this article:

The last poll had them a virtual tie. Rubio 49 Murphy 47 so it could still be winnable but apparently not to the DSCC.
