The Murphies

Primary season is out of the way so there's no better time to give away some of your hard earned dollars to Patrick and Lois Murphy (no relation). I know both of them and they're great candidates. I regularly bump into people working on Patrick's campaign around town and they're great people. Patrick especially has an enthusiastic young staff and a lot of eager volunteers. He's a young guy and the actually having a contested primary was probably a good thing for both him and his staff. They're all ramped up and ready to go, and their campaign blog is actually fun to read (hint to other candidates wondering how to do it).

Lois Murphy almost won in 2004, and on that fact alone she's probably about the best chance for a seat pickup we have. In addition, the Philly burbs have been slowly trending blue over the years and hopefully this year will be the year to put her over the top.
