ONE. Count them. ONE nationally televised speech or debate with Allen West and there would be instant love. I’m telling you. The TEA party knows him already. The man has it...whatever it is...he’s a Conservative love magnet. Trust me on this.
You've got a point there, Mesta. Allen West is charismatic in the extreme, and naturally attracts followers because of his (very real) warrior bearing and the strength of his message.
In lieu of a nationally televised speech or debate, West could begin taping weekly addresses to his constituents, and post them to his congressional website. They'd probably go viral.
