As I understand it, Tom Rooneys brother has a desire to get a seat in congress and it would be that district. My understanding was the West was SOL when Democrats got Amendments 5 & 6 passed by referendum. His current district is a gerrymandered area surrounded by Democrat voting precincts and with the new constraints, district lines similar to his current ones would have been illegal.
There's a reason Democrats pushed for those amendments.
Maybe West can survive, maybe he will lose and get a cabinet post. He'd make a terrific Secretary of State.

Dept of Homeland Security head or Secy of Defense would be his best positions.

If Romney becomes president the only job he’d have for West is shining shoes in the White House basement. Romney and his ilk cannot stand men like West and women like Palin.

Gerrymandering of districts isn't unique to FL. We have a few in Texas even the one Jack-Lee occupies.
The current layout of the FL 22 that is in question.
