Debbie Wasserman Schultz crushes Tim Canova Florida’s 23rd district

Former DNCC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz should be in the fight of her career tonight after the email scandal, losing her chairwoman’s position and a lack of support from the Democrat establishment, but she’s not.

Schultz is facing off against previously little-known law professor Tim Canova who was elevated to relevance by Bernie Sanders.

Sanders railed against the Democrat establishment and saw Canova as a fellow combatant in his revolution against the DNC. Sanders helped him raise money, asked his supporters to support Tim and even had a few of his advisers go to work for Canova after he quit.

Perhaps a bit more effort by Bernie – like campaigning for Canova or at least directly fundraising for him – might have made a difference.

Or not.

Schultz has kept a commanding 10 point lead over the professor in recent polling and as the results dribble in… Shultz is over Canova 57% to 43% (95% reporting so far.)

Most of the vote has been tallied, so the result looks set in stone. Sorry Tim, but I don’t think the Russian hackers are paying a whole lot of attention to this race.
