The Patrick Murphy U.S. Senate campaign racking up endorsements

George Bennett at the Post On Politics blog had this story yesterday:

     Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy‘s effort to create an aura of inevitability for winning Florida’s 2016 Democratic Senate nomination got a boost today when he received the endorsement of Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, a rising star in the party and potential 2018 gubernatorial candidate.
     Murphy, who announced his Senate candidacy March 23, has rolled out endorsements from former Gov. Charlie Crist and fellow Florida Democratic House members Ted Deutch, Lois Frankel, Alcee Hastings and Frederica Wilson. Murphy has also publicized PAC contributions from Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. Jon Tester of Montana, who heads the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
