Lt. Col. Allen West (FL 22 - 2B) Bike Week Inspiration

While he didn't ride to Volusia Fairgrounds for the Freedom Rally, Allen West is quick to tell all at the Bikew festival that he is a biker. "Ride Free, Live Free...it's the biker code." It's a quick jump to the American code from that. The Colonel drove up from his district to the Freedom Rally (really, a rock'n'roll tea party) to spread his message..."Take Our Country Back!"

This guy is the real deal. If I didn't sell a CD to pay for my trip (I sold a few more than that) it was WELL worth it to see, hear and meet this modern day patriot whose passion is infused in every phrase of every story. Quoting Jefferson, Plato and his dad, he inspired the few who did show (a little sun and most bikers must have made it to the beach, after Saturday's rain.

Oh, and he is pretty confident on a win in November.

   

Here is candidate for US FL 8, Patricia Sullivan, the closest we could find of McCain's "biker babes." She is fighting for the despicable Alan Grayson seat.
