I would still today vote for West---he is my "favorite son" even though he frequently annoys and embarrasses this district with his radical Israeli supremacist views and vile attacks on all whom he deems as "libruls" or "commies", or even worse, "mooslims who hatez America and Israel".
I'd like West and see him as a viable Presidential candidate if he had made his issues something like "saving small business", or better, "I'm a former soldier and here's how we should reform the military for this day and age", instead of "CAIR is corrupting our youth! Them, Keith Ellison, and the 78-81 commies will lead to the downfall of America!"
