I agree. I really like Allen West, but would prefer to see him in the senate, or back in the house. It would even make me smile to see him get tapped as a VP running mate.
I called this in 2012. He should have been Romney's VP choice, IMO. Would it be enough to cast the election to Romney? Don't know. But he would have had national exposure and scare the crap out of the Dems.
