VIDEO:  Meet the Only Iraq War Vet in Congress
 
 
This week I sat down with Democratic PA Congressman Patrick Murphy, who represents the state's 8th District, which includes Northeast Philadelphia and Bucks County. Not only is Murphy the youngest Democrat is Congress at 34, he's also the only Iraq War veteran and one of only three PA Superdelegates to come out in support of Senator Barack Obama. In this video Murphy discusses his tour in Iraq, why he decided to run for Congress and his book "Taking the Hill," which came out this week.

Very interesting and well done! The country certainly needs more up and coming leaders like Congressman Murphy.
