Iraq Vet Patrick Murphy To Endorse Obama

Iraq vet and Dem Congressman Patrick Murphy is set to endorse Barack Obama in a conference call this morning.

Late Update: As we promised earlier, we just got off the conference call held by Dem Rep. and Iraq vet Patrick Murphy held to endorse Barack Obama. It was mostly boilerplate, with Obama praising Murphy and Murphy praising Obama, but one comment by Murphy does stand out, in his discussion of Obama's potential to change the country's politics.

"I think he's absolutely our best chance to change the direction of our country," Murphy said, emphasizing the words "our best chance" in a way that seemed to imply Obama might be the most electable candidate. "I'm inspired by his call to action to change how it's done — the business in Washington."
