Super PAC emerges to help Patrick Murphy for US Sen.

A new Super PAC has been formed to help elect U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, to the U.S. Senate seat now held by Marco Rubio. Floridians for a Strong Middle Class, which filed papers with the state earlier this week, is not bound by the $2,700 cap on individual contributions that Murphy's campaign is, and it cannot directly coordinate with the Murphy campaign.

Leaders of the committee include Tampa Democratic operatives/activists Ana Cruz and Alan Clendenin, former Bill Nelson aide Brian May of Miami (better known to some folks as the fellow who tried to slip a message to Alex Sink during her debate with Rick Scott in 2010), and Jennifer May of Washington handling compliance. Murphy's father, construction company owner Thomas Murphy, could be a major donor to Floridians for a Strong Middle Class, but a Democrat involved with the effort said that Thomas Murphy would be among a broad array of Democrats if he contributes.

Murphy so far is the only Democrat in the race and the clear favorite of the national and state Democratic establishment. The more liberal U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Orlando, has said he is leaning toward running for the nomination as well.

1. Not content with stealing general elections, they are stealing our primaries now too.

Murphy is a republican.

[monmouth4]

2. Yes he is, running as a DINO...n/t

[Freddie Stubbs]

4. Murphy WAS a Republican

He has been nominated by Democrats in his district twice.

5. And now he's a "Democrat" that supports or supported:

- construction of the Keystone Pipeline without the approval of the Obama administration
- the House Select Committee on Benghazi. (one of seven house democrats)
- removal of minimum coverage requirement in the Affordable Care Act
- looser regulation of for-profit universities

And that's just a list of his positions from his wiki page...

Frankly, calling this guy a Democrat is an insult to Democrats.

[Freddie Stubbs]

6. The Democrats in his district seem to like

As they have nominated his twice.

Perhaps they know more about him what is reflected on a Wikipedia page.

7. No, that's not the case. I used to live there

He was nominated/elected to get rid of Alan West.

If our new standard for democrats is "better than Alan West" I guess we would be comfortable with the vast majority of republican politicians re-declaring themselves as democrats.

The guy gave money to Mitt Romney in 2008. Mitt F'in Romney.

8. He got rid of West.

In 2012 the Democratic voters in his district renominated by a landslide. He received almost 80% of the vote.

3. 1%ers covering all their bases.

Nothing good for the Lower/Middle Classes from these Dinos.
