Patrick Murphy follows Allen West to 'safer' district, still offers no apology

[T.O.K.]

Democratic congressional candidate Patrick Murphy announced today that he will follow Allen West to the newly proposed District 18 to continue his campaign against him. The move comes after publically calling West a coward for leaving the district to run in a more favorable one. It seems that Murphy will be doing exactly that, with the blessing of popular Democratic leaders. He has yet to apologize to West for his remark.

Love the quotes from the Democratic leaders here. Talk about spin! He's not doing it because there is no way in hell for him to beat Lois Frankel or raise money, for that matter, without using Allen West as an incentive to the lefties that shudder at Wests name. Under his own definition, that would make him a coward, right?

Sounds like Col. West has picked up a stalker. /s

Lois Frankel is not a shoo-in. Republicans state Representative Adam Hasner is running there and he is a credible, well-funded candidate.
