No, he ain't conceded his Florida race yet. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, about the conservative Republican: "My AJC colleague Daniel Malloy caught West in a Capitol hallway on
Wednesday, and asked him about the invitation from Georgia GOP chairman
Sue Everhart, who noted West’s Atlanta roots and said she hoped they
would lead West to replant his standard here. West wasn’t interested. 'No,' the former lieutenant colonel replied. 'Look, let me tell you something. I have moved my wife around for
20-some-odd years, being in the military, and she was also the daughter
of a career military guy. When I retired, she chose Florida. That’s
where my daughter’s in school, in college, my youngest daughter’s in
high school. That’s our home. It’s a very nice thing, but I’m not an NFL
free agent.'"
