http://weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/news/columnists/mayo/blog/2012/02/allen_west_crafty_strategist_o.htmlDepending on whose version you believe, lightning-rod rookie Republican Congressman Allen West's decision to abandon Broward constituents and his current district for the friendlier confines of northern Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie County is either a brilliant tactical move (West's spin) or a sign of pure cowardice (the spin from his jilted former opponents Lois Frankel and Patrick Murphy).
It's definitely a bit of both, but there's no denying it looks like a retreat from a Tea Party favorite and former Army officer who likes to talk tough.
So long, phony!

Sounds like he wanted to serve just so he could have it on his political resume. He is an asshole.
