LTC Allen West won a congressional seat!!
If only we had about 434 more like him between the house and senate!!
West/Rice or West/Powell for Pres/VP 2016!!!
Well, im not very familiar with LTC west but I will say this, I hope he's better and smarter than most of the LTCs I had the unpleasant experience of dealing with. Most had their noses so high, id swear when they sneezed, the moon would shake. But I would be all for a colin powel or tommy franks or even petreaus 2012 presidental run

Better look close at Powell. He, IMO, was a complete product of the Army Affirmative Action program. Promoted quickly through the ranks, though he only touched on the career path benchmarks. He is a very intellegent and well spoken individual, however, his spine, so to speak, isn't as stiff as I would like to see. Also, he was one of the main voices that advised Bush 41 against moving forward in the first Gulf conflict and eliminating Hussien, even when Schwartzkopf had Spec Ops troops within a short sniper shot of doing just that.
Now on the subject of Gen Tommy Franks....I never served with a finer officer in my life. I was fortunate enough to have been stationed in units with Gen Franks in command on three occasions during my service. I even reported to him directly on certain community aspects (LEO Activitiy) on a fairly regular basis.
He is a Soldiers' Soldier. A true natural leader, who always had our Nations' best interest in mind.
