I got a kick out of this. West won in the 2nd most expensive house race in the country. Klien had a well deserved loss after voting with Pelosi 98% of the time, and then trying to win with attack ads against West alone, among them one that released Allen Wests social security number. Klien had 4 years in the House. I've been told that 5 years is required for a pension.

Which is why the over 1 million debt of Kleins campaign on October 13 sort of struck me funny here. Anyone know who picks that up or how that works for losing candidates?

Wow. A whole five years to receive a House pension...

The icing on the cake is that Lt. Col. West not only won, but that he won big. Wasn’t his margin something like 17%?
