Quick Patrick Murphy Update

I'm just passing through.

Congressman Patrick Murphy, just elected to his second term, is starting to blend into the woodwork a little. He's no longer the only Iraq War veteran in Congress. Incoming Florida Rep. Tom Rooney shares that distinction. Others may as well; I haven't done a thorough check. Murphy is now an old man of 35, not the congressional kid anymore. Incoming Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock is only 27. Rooney is 38; newly elected Ohio Rep. John Boccieri is 39. There are enough under-40's to form a caucus. (See Politics Magazine's "Frosh to Watch" for the source of some of this data.)
