Could it be?
It's finally official; Republican war criminal Allen West is a LOSER (according to the state of Florida): bit.ly/RLEdJe

Soundly defeated @allenwest won't concede. Spending the rest of his life screaming at a TV must not seem appealing. politics.heraldtribune.com/2012/11/11/rep…

Only a few months ago, West seemed formidable, as this Mother Jones article suggested. Also interesting is the kind of place that would elect such a politician:
Sixty years ago Wellington was pure Everglades, part of an undulating expanse of saw grass and cypress that stretched for hundreds of miles down into Florida Bay. In the years since, the land has been drained, filled in, bought and sold and repossessed. In its place, a fever swamp of an entirely different sort has emerged. Allen West, tea party rock star, is its champion.
It seems to be a very wealthy place, actually. I was thinking of vast housing tracts.

He still won't concede, but it may not be up to him.

20 November update: Allen West has finally conceded.

Good stuff. You on twitter now?
Not yet. But I visit some Twitter accounts. If there's something choice, I just embed the tweet. West was arguably the most controversial figure in this Congress and he's not leaving without a fight.
