My local news is saying there is talk that Rick Scott might pick Allen West to be Lieutenant Gov.

That office is currently vacant because Jennifer Carroll resigned earlier this year.

3. Because there is nothing like a loose cannon in the state house.

It's the way to lose elections.

It certainly makes for good discussion.
But, the thought of this is totally repulsive.

West will put the lie to Scott's "return to the middle" where he pushes for raises for teachers and pushes for accepting federal funds for Medicaid (but not too hard).
