Patrick Murphy is an idiot who couldn’t possibly have won without the corruption of the ballot box by the supervisor of elections. He has no chance in a statewide election. And the GOP loons in the legislature gerrymandered West out of a safe seat. Atwater has done a good job. I just hope that airhead Atty Gen doesn’t run for Rubio’s seat.

No, they did not - since they are drawn by an "independent" commission in Florida.

"Democratic U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy is not nearly as well-known. But he is seen as a moderate who can win crossover votes after defeating incumbent Republican Rep. Allen West in 2012 despite West's massive fundraising and national tea party support."

Florida's eGOP gerrymandered West out of his seat. Winning in a gerrymandered district is pretty much a no-brainer. Murphy would have needed to try pretty hard to lose.

M.R., please hold your Senate seat. Your timing is not good.
