West Palm Beach, Fla. - Firebrand Republican Rep. Allen West was defeated by Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy, according to the state´s vote count Saturday, but the incumbent won´t concede. The state issued complete but unofficial results showing Murphy with a lead of 2,442 votes, or 50.4 percent. That´s beyond the half-percent margin needed to trigger an automatic recount. A handful of overseas and military ballots remain outstanding, but under state law the decision for a recount is based on Saturday´s count. Murphy declared victory early Wednesday morning and has held

Basically, who cares about the overseas and military ballots? This is so obvious. We need Allen West.

Best news all week, West is the man! Focus on the obvious and believe me, this is not the only race with over 100% turnout..

Mr. West. you have my undying support.

You are a man of great integrity and honor.

Unfortunately, those are no longer requisites for leadership.

What the world needs now ...

... is snake oil and coddling.

With a side of swag and some benefits to go.

Maybe in another century ...

"military ballots remain outstanding"

Those officers who were derelict in their duty to ensure voting should become (in)famous.

Allen West is my congressman; he has every right to question the ballot count, since there are many egregious problems with the machines in Florida as well as the way ballots are handled. If Rep. West sees that the ballots have been fairly counted, he will concede with grace. Given the fact the machines have eaten ballots in some precincts, he deserves a respectful chance to check it out.

Post 6, I agree. The RNC elites undermined Allen West. Apparently the RNC is also to blame for the presidential debates which set up GOP candidates for failure. Bias liberal "journalists" have.moderated every debate since 1996. Town hall formats are a travesty. Enough is enough. The RNC must be fumigated before we have any chance to win a national election.

Romney crushed Obama in the debates. My sad sense from talking to some people in Chicago, and maybe the sample size is too small, is that many who did not like Obama just would not vote for a Mormon. It saddens me deeply. I honestly feel in my bones that Romney would have been one if the great Presidents of the United States of America. Instead, our descent quickens, and the world darkens.

Not voting for Mitt cuz he´s a Mormon is an assinine attitude. Whatever you want to say about Mormonism and some strange beliefs, every one I´ve ever known is a model citizen, has liberty in their DNA, is clean cut, polite, generous and hard working.

Rumblehog - you are correct. I told my wife this summer that if you are not paying income taxes, you should not have a say in who spends your money. That would clean out all of those on the dole who do not help fund this country, including those on social security who do not pay taxes any longer. No dog in the race. Then you don´t get to pick who makes the rules.

The republicans in NY State approved a redistricting that would have flushed Ann Marie Burkle down the toilet, but a brave NYS lady judge threw out that betrayal, and a better redistricting was created.
Even at that, though, Ann Marie appears to have lost to charlie rangel´s boy, dan maffei. But it was relatively close.
If the republican party gets its act together, there could be a huge resurgence of republicans in the House and Senate.
That is, if the republican candidates stop saying stupid stuff about abortion.
Just answer the question about such matters by saying the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on the matter. Man, a 10 year old would be wise enough to do that.

#17, you should meet some of my Mormon acquaintances here in PHX. They will bend over backwards for their Mormon friends because to do otherwise would be a sin in their eyes and every ward in the state would know about it, they are that clannish. They will also be nice if they think they can convert you but otherwise, screw you. If you ever looked at some of the parallels between Mormons and Muslims, they are very similar. They expect the wives to obey their husbands in all things. I have worked with some of them. They are not happy women. Of course having 6-10 kids each doesn´t help either.

As for Col. West, keep on fighting. Hooah!

Col. West was kicked out of the military for having the stones to do what was necessary for the lives of his troops. That fighting spirit, that willingness to fight to the finish, clearly has not abated in his time as a civilian.

St. Lucie county is to recount votes next week. Personally I think Palm Beach county screwed up their recounts too, and the supervisor was getting very testy with West´s attorney. We were so disappointed when West chose to run in 18 and not 22 again but guess he had his reasons. I do hope he comes out of this on top. His opponent is a jerk. Go Allen go.

Florida was still ´counting´ votes as of Nov. 10th.

It has been a state ripe for voter fraud since Sore/Loserman.

Now the fraud has been perfected.

The scanners were not working, the ballots were incorrect, and the list of egregious voter abuses goes on and on.

Florida has become Illinois. Add Ohio to that list of stolen states.

Take away the 4,000 ballots created by democrat precinct chairmen and West wins.

The one-time head of the U.S. Africa Command was demoted Tuesday and ordered to repay $82,000 for unauthorized spending on extravagant trips and other expenses. The move by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta means Gen. William “Kip” Ward will lose one star and retire as a three-star lieutenant general, according to The Associated Press. The demotion is just the latest bit of general misbehavior following the resignation of ex-Army Gen. David Petraeus for an adulterous affair, and reports that Marine Gen. John Allen is under investigation for his “flirtatious” exchanges with the whistleblower in the Petraeus case.

Nine people have been charged with voter fraud in a district in Arkansas, after a scheme was uncovered in which half-pint bottles of vodka were used to buy votes. Three of those charged have pleaded guilty, including Democratic State Representative Hudson Hallum who has since resigned. Hallum had allegedly told a local city councilman — who is now a co-defendant — that they “need to use that black limo and buy a couple of cases of some cheap vodka and whiskey to get people to vote.”

The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race.
