Good news for fans of Allen West, the fiery congressional candidate running in Florida. (This YouTube of one of West’s short speeches to a conservative event in Fort Lauderdale has been watched more than 2.1 million times.) He ran well in 2008 with almost no funding, and the rematch is going pretty well: “Republican congressional challenger Allen West’s campaign released a poll this morning that shows West with a 44-to-42 percent lead over U.S. Rep. Ron Klein, D-Boca Raton. The poll of 400 “likely general election voters” was taken April 18-19 by Republican polling firm Wilson Research Strategies and has a 4.9 percent margin of error. That makes the race a statistical dead heat — which is not good news for an well-financed, well-known incumbent.”
