I would expect to see this campaign get ugly. Lt. Col. West has the colossal nerve to not only be a conservative, but to be a black conservative.

Personally I see him as a conservative who happens to be more darkly pigmented than I am myself; I'm much more interested in his thoughts, ideas, and character than in his skin pigmentation. Oddly enough, those very same things are at the root of my distaste for the current occupant of the White House, and also at the root of my objection to almost everything he does and says.

Hopefully, Colonel West will become my representative. He is a sound conservative and a man of strong character. I endorse him and I will vote for him.

I know the left may disagree but my distaste for Obama has nothing to do with race and everything to do with ideology. I find West to be an ideal candidate for the same reason; his ideology. I wish West was a candidate in my district.
