As a lot of you already know, Patrick Murphy is running in the 8th District in Pennsylvania to defeat Republican Mike Fitzpatrick. Patrick is a young, lively, progressive Democrat -- just the kind of candidate we always clamor for in the Democratic party.
Many believe this race to be competitive. After all, Gore and Kerry both won the area in their presidential runs. However, in a recent poll, Patrick is trailing the incumbent 53-45.
While I am not happy about the poll, Patrick is definitely within striking distance. But we need to start funding and helping out with his campaign. This is exactly the kind of seat we need to win if we want a reasonable chance of taking over the U.S. House in November. Please help spread the word about this great candidate. Even if you're not from PA, you can always donate, or at least get the word out.
Let's make it happen for the future of the Democratic Party!
