Yep pretty easy to blow that one out of the water with facts but some don't seem to want to acknowledge them. The West fiasco was largely his and no one elses. Had he worked harder on his GOTV effort in the GOP county of Martin and got more votes there he'd have won the 18th and St. Lucie wouldn't have been discussed. West lost the CD by some 1900 votes and he failed in Martin, not St. Lucie, imo.

St Lucie 52,672 (44.5%) 65,567 (55.4%)
Palm Beach 68,348 (50.1%) 68,158 (49.9%)
Martin 43,333 (57.1%) 32,532 (42.9%) Romney won by 18,083 votes
