I thought Allen West lost yesterday?
He's a leader of men, an intellectual warrior, he has great reverence for the Constitution and it's authors, He's adapted to the art of politics in a short amount of time, He wouldn't be beholden to a “district constituency” nor vulnerable to losing his seat from redistricting/opposition targeting.
He's respectful of the process, but unafraid of a street fight. Dems would hate, fear and respect him.
I know it's a long shot, but DC Repubs need a kick in the ass.
