Phony Allen West can run, but he can't hide
Murphy takes fight to West to new district
http://weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/dcblog/2012/02/murphy_takes_fight_against_all.html
Rather than tussle with fellow Democrat Lois Frankel, Patrick Murphy announced on Wednesday he will challenge Republican Allen West in a new proposed congressional district anchored in north Palm Beach County.
That means Murphy will wage his well-financed campaign against West in the newly drawn 18th district, avoiding a Democratic primary confrontation with Frankel, who has drawn money and support from the party establishment.
"Allen West abandoned his constituents to find supposedly safer political ground. Today, our campaign is putting Mr. West on notice: There is no safe district he can run to," Murphy said.
