TAMPA (970 WFLA) -- Governor Rick Scott hasn't picked a new Lieutenant Governor, and it's not clear whether he will, but he says at least one Florida politician would make a superb choice.
On AM Tampa Bay, the governor responded to a question by saying West "is a great American and a great patriot... he'd be a great Lieutenant Governor."
Scott has said he would wait until the end of the session before working on finding someone to replace Jennifer Carroll, who resigned earlier this year after being questioned about an indicted charity that ran internet cafes. Her resignation was soon followed by the passage of a law banning those businesses in Florida.
Scott is visiting Alexander Elementary School in Tampa to hold a pep rally to celebrate teacher pay increases in the new budget.
On another education issue, Scott says he's not sold on the three percent tuition increase in the budget.
Allen West would indeed make a great Lieutenant Governor, as he would a great Governor or Senator.
Liberals, he is NOT going away.
This Florida resident agrees with Scott.
What a good choice,if this is a option!!!!
GO ALLEN WEST!
Wow....hard to imagine the blood and gore from liberals head exploding.....
This floridian thinks it’s great idea...
A good idea indeed.
However, given how quickly Jennifer Carroll was thrown down the stairs in the absence of any demonstrated wrongdoing, Mr. West should be cautious if approached by the Scott administration.
This Floridian would much rather see Lt. Col. West back in the House of Representatives.
Yep, all you will hear is
“TEA PARTY, TEA PARTY, TEA PARTY, SARA PALIN, SARA PALIN, SARA PALIN” WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA@@@@@!!!!!!!!! Screaching of the demon child democrats!
Barf!
Go Allen West!
Scott would make a decent lieutenant to GOVERNOR West!
NO! I want him for President!
We need a straight talker for a change. We don’t need another filthy lawyer who has spent his/her entire life attempting to skirt the intention of the law.
Brown nosing?
This addresses so many of today’s topics it must go viral:

Lets see what he can do, a retired Army Officer, a leader, an Afro American, has College degrees, who got to where he is on his own merit, he can’t be that much of a risk. It wasn’t like he was court martialed and drummed out of the service, he received non judicial punishment for one incident where he turned himself in. Its not like he’s going to take Florida and declare war on the Mideast. I really think he loves this country, but there are those who fear him for more reasons than having him labeled as crazy. Guys like West would threaten the security of corrupt politicians and those who keep them in power. There lies the greatest fear, fear of ending the status quo.
I just emailed Gov. Scott to endorse Allen West. I ask all Florida Freepers to go to http://www.flgov.com/contact-gov-scott/email-the-governor/ and send the Governor the message that he needs a strong conservative to help us become the Number 1 business destination. Look out Rick Perry, the South’s gonna rise again!
Go Allen Go!
Dumba$$ is trying to win conservatives back since he decided to expand obamacare
Great idea, guv.
done!!
I would not trust Scott to select West as Ltd Gov. Don’t count on it
