Wonkette Candidate Wins Something, but It’s Not One of the Porn Stars or Escorts

Congratulations to Patrick Murphy, the first candidate endorsed by Wonkette to actually win something (after his endorsement, anyway). It may have helped that he’s funny, not crazy, like most other Wonkette endorsees.

Mr. Murphy won his Pennsylvania county’s Democratic Committee endorsement for the 8th US Congressional District, and he’ll go on to face someone we’ve never heard of and can’t remember for the seat this November. We probably won’t be following this race as closely as the ones involving people we’re related to, but as long as the sarcastic press releases keep coming, we’ll support him.

We are 100% certain that our support is what put Murphy over the edge into victory against some other guy we haven’t heard of and can’t remember.

Official Wonkette Endorsement: Patrick Murphy

None of us are related to this guy, who’s running for the Democratic nomination in Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District, but we found his last Press Release pretty funny.

LARRY OTTER ENDORSES ANDY WARREN FOR CONGRESS

LEVITTOWN, PA—May 14, 2006—In response to Larry Otter’s endorsement of Andy Warren, Josh Nanberg, campaign manager for Patrick Murphy issued the following statement:

“OK”

Ha! Clever. Today’s the PA primary, so get out and vote! Because we need more sarcasm in the House. Have you been over there lately? We got Linda Sanchez, and that’s about it. Also, this guy’s totally cuter than his opponent. Here’s a picture of him with Bill Clinton:
