Eight of Broward's top elected Democrats are signing on with Patrick Murphy's U.S. Senate campaign.
Murphy, currently a congressman representing northern Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties, is so far the only candidate seeking his party's nomination to run for U.S. Senate next year.
Part of his strategy is rolling out endorsements to show momentum and strength as his Orlando-area colleague, U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, weighs whether he'll also seek the party's nomination for the Senate seat being vacated by Republican Marco Rubio, who is running for president.
Thursday's endorsements come from Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler, Broward Sheriff Scott Israel and Broward Property Appraiser Lori Parrish.

Murphy has been a Democrat - since 2011. He only switched in order to run against Allan West. He belongs to that Democratic Coalition that really really wants to triangulate and work closely with the GOP. Not voting for this shit any more.
Agreed. I ain't voting for that shit any more, either.

(7,636 posts)There are still only three options: greater evil, lesser evil, and I'm ok with the greater evil. Recognizing the lack of a GOOD choice doesn't absolve us of responsibility for our choice.

We used to have to vote for DLCers, now they want us to vote for republicans. Not gonna do it. If state party wants my vote, they'll have to give me a candidate I feel deserves it.
