I wish Allen would have established residency in Georgia and planted his flag in Atlanta with Herschel Walker and Casting Crowns.

Publicity is always good for a future book deal?

I don’t think West will have any chance of knocking off Abbott, but at least it will keep Abbott honest thru the primary...

His energy policies also went belly up this winter.

Poorly advised decision that could hurt an already tenuously red state. I like Alan West, but carpetbagging comes to mind and his ties to the state political establishment are certainly not as strong as Abbotts. Needs to run against Cornyn or one of the big city liberal US reps. Hate to hear this and will not be voting for him.

Allen West's political career consists of a single term in Congress, which he won on the second try and promptly lost again.
Great man, but he has a snowball's chance in hell of beating a popular incumbent Governor.

West could knock off Cornyn and he wouldn’t have to move. BINGO!
If he does he can still take a shot at Gov. later.
Or perhaps a Cruz/West Gov./Lt Gov ticket later.
It depends on how much Cruz is wrapped up in being a Senator.
But straight to Gov against Abbott is a no win scenario.

As others have posted, Abbot went squishy during the plandemic™, which shows he can cave under pressure.Abbott goes squishy every time he's not actively campaigning for office. I wouldn't vote for him for dog catcher.

I thought he was from Florida.
When did he move to TX?
To: xkaydet65
I didn’t know a Georgian could be a carpetbagger. Thought they came from north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
If this is the case, will Texas take back that asshat lankford.
To: RandFan
This will be interesting, but what will they have to argue about?

“I like Allen West, but why? Abbot is kicking ass.”
This conservative, Trump-loving Texan certainly has NO ISSUE with Abbott. I already credit him for fighting to keep our election clean, when the big-city politicians were trying to pull a Stacy Abrams.
