Allen West
Posted on 05/21/2008 12:09:54 PM PDT by Ooh-Ah
According a very poor analysis offered this week by the Politico, which was highlighted by Drudge for all of about half a hour before he realized how false it was and removed it,...

Allen West is a true military leader. He’s also a dedicated public servant who decided to spend a year teaching high school in the district before announcing his candidacy. Most importantly, he brings vast knowledge and well thought out solutions to key issues, ranging from small business development to healthcare and pragmatic solutions to the mortgage crisis and job creation. The fact that he’s African-American just goes to show that the GOP is the party of people of all races who share in common sense.
What are Allen West’s chances of winning? At least 50-50. He’s not only extremely likeable and dynamic, but wherever he speaks he’s met with rave reviews. After he spoke at a major event in liberal Broward County, there wasn’t a Democrat in the room who didn’t think that this man got the issues of everyday people. Speaking with them afterward, it was the norm to hear them say “I’m a Democrat, but I’m going for Allen West.” To accomplish this he didn’t compromise his core conservative beliefs, he just articulated them. When he’s spoken at Republican clubs, he’s blown the audience away, with everyone saying we need communicators like him nationally and that if we had any the Republican brand would be in a far better position. I guess they mean that we need more real people who can properly express their core beliefs, something Allen West can do better than almost any Republican political leader today.

Good post
I met him at this year’s CPAC, I was very impressed as well.
In 2000 and again in 2002, LtCdr. Jennifer Carroll ran against the execrable Corrine Brown for the US House in Fl-03 but unfortunately lost to Brown. She currently is in the Florida House. She'd get full republican support if she didn't run in a gerrymandered district like FL03. I'm surprised Jennifer hasn't moved up but I haven't been following her legislative performance, I must admit.Condi had a clear shot before she was captured by the State department. She'd still get wide-spread support.
Republicans value competence. No, we cherish it! Any manager worth his or her salt thirsts for it in an employee. Sadly, competence is rare. An example: he's a fictional character, but a David Palmer-like candidate would win in a landslide. Competent, had values, honored those who stood between us and harm (Jack!). We simply liked the cut of Palmer's jib, to use a nautical term in honor of Teddy taking out the boat and Splash for a race this weekend. Watch out for the windmills, Swimmer!
Thanks for posting this Ooh-Ah. We’ve got to write the NRCC and demand they pay attention to FL-22. They’re playing a game of defense that’s designed to lose and are giving no attention to districts where we can really take it to the Dems.
