Lowell, Massachusetts - July 26, 2007 - In a race that's drawing national attention and money, Patrick Murphy, of Lowell, Massachusetts, hopes to be the one voters in the 5th Congressional District send to Washington.

Running for his first political office, Murphy is confident that he can win. Skeptics may doubt his chances, but he has gained the respect of audiences at campaign events and even workers for his opponents. WBUR's Fred Thys has this portrait of an unlikely candidate.

The audio for this story will be available on WBUR's web site after 10 a.m. on Thursday.

Just fyi, an interesting story

1. I'm still torn between Niki Tsongas and Eileen Donahue

What was the deciding factor for you?

2. Where's the support for Jamie Eldridge?

Where's the love?

3. I'm from Lowell, so Tsongas and Donahue are very familiar to me

And I'd like to see us send a female Congress-critter to DC this time. Both of these gals are pretty liberal. Maybe not quite as liberal as Eldridge, still excellent.
