Georgia GOP Recruits Allen West For Future Congressional Run

FYI, the conservative Republican was born and raised in Georgia. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "So what’s in the cards for the coastal Florida congressman after his lame-duck duties are done? Sue Everhart, chairman of the Georgia Republican party, said Monday she would love it if West, an Atlanta native and Grady High School grad, returned to his roots."

More: "'I would be glad to have him come back to Georgia and at some point run here,' Everhart told my AJC colleague Daniel Malloy during a discussion about diversity within the Republican party. 'I would certainly try to help him because he has done his job. The way he ran his race didn’t in any way interfere with the job he did. He ran as a Republican, a conservative Republican.' Everhart called the one-term West 'one of the finest congressmen this country’s ever had.'"

Booker Rising response: Well, Rep. West ain't even conceded his very tight Florida race yet....
