If Klein vacates the seat to run for the Senate, I think the GOP will view Lt. Col. West’s run as far less quixotic and actually fund him. But, FYI, I was told by someone well connected in the Palm Beach County GOP that Lt. Col. West had refused help from campaign pros and that area Republicans thought that he didn’t stand a chance, which is why they concentrated their support on Representative-elect Rooney instead.
Horsehockie.
So many Vets for Freedom operated without help from the RNC, because they refused to help him.
When Palin and her lacky visited Western PA, for a brief time, Russell was disinvited. Can you imagine the freekin’ audacity. He was disivited by the state chair of the RNC.
We need to get rid of th PARTY leadership.
If West refused a certain kind of help that came with conditions to deny certain aspects of his conservatism, then that is no offer at all.
I stand on what I said.
i don't mean to be a jerk - but if the gop thought he did not stand a chance, they were wrong (since he got 46%) - if west did reject help from these 'pros', it seemed a wise choice on his part
we tried the rino-reach-across-the-aisle route in the last election and it did not work out so well - we need visible leadership that will speak up and ruffle feathers if necessary to get out a conservative message and force coverage of the democrat scandals and failed ideas (i don't care if they have to stand nekkid on the steps of congress to get that coverage)
we have 2 years to have our internal fight in the gop - i am standing on the team with west
I can’t afford much, but when the time comes, I’ll gladly pitch in a few bucks toward his campaign.
