So the Democrats will run Lucy Flores in that case? Probably a bit easier on Hardy, though it's still difficult to see him winning.
Yea, I can't imagine this district not having a strong Dem bench. But this announcement gives Hardy a boost in chances of holding the seat (from like 5% to 10%, but still).
More like 30%, if not slightly higher. Sabato, who ended up doing quite well (aside from governors, which nobody predicted well) last year despite the bashing on him here, has this at Toss-Up.
Didn't he have this race as Safe D at this point in the 2014 cycle?
