OOHRAH!
There are many choices for VP, but Allen West is a liberal nightmare. He can draw up to 1/3 the black vote and resets the meme that Repubs are racists. That alone scares the dickens out of the DNC. He pulls Florida toward the Repubs. The military votes will swing his way. He will be a likely successor in upcoming elections. He fights.
The left will go after him with guns blazing.
