Patrick Murphy: “The Senate is full of Allen Wests, including Marco Rubio.”

Very interesting story from George Bennett at the Post On Politics blog. The title says it all: Patrick Murphy rips Marco Rubio, cheers Hillary Clinton, says Senate ‘is full of Allen Wests’

Here's an excerpt from the article:

     “People have said to me [Patrick Murphy] ‘Why are you running against Marco Rubio or whomever his tea party replacement might be?’ They say he might be hard to beat and we have to take on the whole national tea party movement,” Murphy said.
     “But I have two words for them: Allen West. We’ve done this before.”
     Murphy added: “The Senate is full of Allen Wests, including Marco Rubio.”

Patrick Murphy made these remarks at the Palm Beach County Democratic Party. You might call this a friendly crowd, however is the reference to "Allen West" a sign of a campaign strategy? Stay tuned as they say.
