“Tonight is great victory for our party and for Florida,” Harris said. “It’s a great victory because it shows each of us we can overcome adversity to achieve extraordinary victories.” ~Forbes

Harris must drink a lot of Starbucks coffee to remain this chipper, or perhaps this is just another aspect of her delusions.  How is it an extraordinary victory to win as the overwhelming favourite in a primary against three no-name challengers who have no political experience?  

If there is anything that the Harris primary victory with 50% of the vote (20 points more than her closest challenger and 35 points better than the anointed candidate of all major state papers, former Adm. Collins) might show us, it is that name recognition will always matter more than what a candidate says (unless, apparently, he says ‘macaca’ while a camera is running), and there really may be no such thing as bad publicity.  However, the numbers for the general election suggest that crazy behaviour and sloppy comments will end up costing a candidate in the end.
