Richard Writes in BizPACReview
I wrote a piece today in BizPACReview entitled “Who will beat the nation’s most vulnerable Democrat” analyzing the numbers in the Congressional District 18 race between Allen West and Patrick Murphy. You can read part of it here and link to the full story below.
Who will beat the nation’s ‘most vulnerable Democrat’?
FEBRUARY 19, 2013 BY RICHARD DENAPOLI
Congressman Patrick Murphy, who recently eked out a victory over former Congressman Allen West in District 18, has now been labeled the “most vulnerable Democrat.”
Sabato’s Crystal Ball, the product of highly respected University of Virginia Center for Politics Director Larry J. Sabato, said just that on Feb. 7. The Crystal Ball has been a leader in accurately predicting elections across the country.
One way to determine vulnerability of Democrats in Congress is to look at districts where Mitt Romney won yet the Republican congressional candidate lost. An analysis of Congressional District 18 shows that Romney won the district, and the numbers show how vulnerable Murphy may be in 2014.
| Romney | Obama | West | Murphy | |
| Palm Beach | 71,066 | 65,699 | 68,348 | 68,158 |
| Martin | 48,183 | 30,107 | 43,333 | 32,532 |
| St. Lucie | 56,202 | 65,869 | 52,672 | 65,567 |
| Total Votes | 175,451 | 161,675 | 164,353 | 166,257 |
| Percentage Total of 2-way race | 52% | 48% | 49.7% | 50.3% |
The numbers clearly show this is a swing district. To Read More Click Here

A LETTER FROM STATE REPRESENTATIVE GEORGE MORAITIS
Dear Friends,
RNC Co-Chair Sharon Day Thanks Richard DeNapoli for His Service
Thanks to RNC Co-Chair Sharon Day for her kind words.
Richard DeNapoli and Sharon Day
Republican National Committee
Sharon Day, Co-Chairman
November 19, 2012
Dear Fellow BREC Members:
I wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks and heartfelt congratulations to our County Chairman Richard DeNapoli on his announcement regarding the new direction his career is taking him and his family.
Richard has always stood firmly rooted in the principles of our Party and has spent his term as Chairman rebuilding the party and raising the funds, both federal and state, with a commitment to Republican success, at the municipal, county, state and national level. His dedication and energy on behalf of candidates will surely be missed.
Leadership means making difficult decisions and often taking all of the blame and little or none of the success. Richard has led and has strived to make the Broward Republican Executive Committee an organization of pride and principles.
Please join me in wishing Richard his wife Brigita and their son Victor, the best of luck and God’s blessing as they move on to the next set of challenges life has to offer.
Sincerely,
Sharon
