I am looking forward to meeting Allen West on August 5 at a fundraiser in NYC.  Mr. West is running for Congress in Florida’s 22nd Congressional District, and coming to NYC to speak to young Republicans.  It is an important event for New Yorkers and the country alike because I get the feeling that Mr. West is someone to follow.

Described as persuasive, charismatic, and a war hero, this Republican is catching a lot of attention. Republicans are hopeful that this seat, currently held by a one term Democrat, is a seat they can win.

As far as I can see, this candidate has better credentials than most. But I will reserve the bulk of my commentary until after I have had a chance to meet Mr. West in person.

The following is a glimpse of what others are saying about him:

In an email I received from a West supporter:

We are supporting Allen West for Congress here in Fl. A candidate like him only comes along once in a generation. He is the ‘REAL DEAL’…a true ‘leader’ aligned with our thinking on critical issues important to us all.
