Hopefully one recognizes that there is no such thing as the Palm Beach Times, Miami Tribune or Tampa Citizen. In fact, this is an April Fools’ press release from the RPOF, having a little fun at Patrick Murphy’s expense.

The Republican Party and some conservative Super PACs seem to be far more concerned about Murphy’s viability in a general election this fall against a GOP opponent. Murphy is by far the choice of the Democratic establishment, with endorsements from a slew of elected Democratic party officials locally and nationally, including Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
