Another Iraq war veteran is running for Congress as a Democrat. This is Patrick Murphy who is running against a vulnerable Republican incumbant in a moderate district.

This is a good candidate for the blogosphere to get behind. Given the success of Paul Hackett, it is apparent Iraq war veterans have instant credibility and first hand experience on the issue which is likely to be number one in voters minds in November, 2006.
Patrick Murphy served in the 82nd Airborne Division in Baghdad where he received the Bronze Star. He also served in Bosnia and as a constitutional law professor at West Point. He reached the rank of Captain.
Patrick Murphy is a good Democrat who is for saving the present Social Security system and making it solvent, supports vigorous environmental protection and healthcare for all Americans.
With this impressive background, lets get behind him. This is one of many winnable seats for Democrats in the House in 2006.
