I've got no sympathy for bloggers who get 80,000 hits a day complaining about getting too much email. And then singling out one to complain about so 80,000 people can share their hissy fit.
I don't know who Patrick Murphy is, but I do sympathize with his campaign staff. When you're running a congressional primary campaign it's difficult impossible to get the attention of the media. Sending out press releases when your candidate supports building homes for disabled vets seems like a good idea to me.
If bloggers want to be considered media, they better stop complaining when they are treated, well, like the media. (Who I doubt ever entertain the urge to "rip the head (sic) off small kittens".)
