"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.
