Yeah, provisional ballots from Palm Beach County will totally help a Republican.

Unsurprising.


But would he try to win this seat back in 2 years?

Of course he won't. The Murphy regime is clearly illegitimate and against the will of the Stuartian people. It is the role of the United States to protect and promote our values worldwide, and for that reason we must overthrow Murphy, to defend Western civilization from the Muslim threat (Islam has a proclivity for violence), just like the 300 Spartans. Murphy himself, being a Democrat and a "card-carrying member of the Communist Party", is "a threat to the gene pool", and needs to "get the hell out of" his country before we do it for him. "Some people in this world just need to have their butts kicked". Murphy is one of them.

Now that West lost he'll have more time to spend with the voices in his head.

Yeah, provisional ballots from Palm Beach County will totally help a Republican.

Absentee Ballots, actually. The Democratic areas of Palm Beach County are not in this district.

The sad part is, I could totally see West saying that.

That's because the vast majority of it has already been said by Allen West. Protect and promote our values worldwide, defend Western civilization from Islam, proclivity for violence, Spartans comparison, and all the quotes are West quotes.

Excellent news, eh, Krazy? ;)

Seriously though, it's pretty ridiculous he hasn't conceded despite the fact that he has no chance whatsoever. But West being West... ::)

Well, that depends on the number of ballots outstanding.

The areas of Palm Beach in this district might not be super Democratic like the ones in the three Jewish districts in the Hastings district, but they still have a Dem lean.  Obama carried these areas twice as did Gore and even Kerry.

Was there a Bradley Effect going on here?   Mia Love too.

Edit: the twittersphere is buzzing with news that Allen West's recount was denied.

Imagine if a black Dem acted the way West does. The right wing would be all over him and asking him to resign. There are good Republicans but "ballots dont work, bullets will" West is a true scumbag. Good riddance.
