To answer your question, Allen, it's because you're an asshole.

I lived in Palm Beach Gardens until 1 year ago...in the same subdivision West now graces with his charming personality (disorder).

Before mailing in his absentee ballot, my diehard republican ex-hubby called to ask about the ballot measures. I went over them with him and then we began discussing candidates. For the first time ever he split his vote. I couldn't move him off of Romney, but I persuaded him to vote for Bill Nelson and Patrick Murphy. Originally he said, "I can't vote for that screaming asshole West, so I'm writing in your name" I countered with "That is equivalent to a half vote for West, vote for Murphy so you can be rid of him." He did and is.

What is still so depressing is that West won his slice of Palm Beach County by 190 votes. St. Lucie County came through for Murphy. I hope he proves to be an excellent representative, I hate these close run elections.
