10/7/12, "West, Atwater, Negron fire up crowd before Romney’s Treasure Coast appearance," Palm Beach Post, G. Bennett
"U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Palm Beach Gardens, drew
shouts of “West! West! West!” and at least one suggestion he run for
president when he showed up this afternoon for a Mitt Romney rally at Tradition Square.
“You’ve already got a great candidate,” West said to a man who said he should run for the White House.
Florida CFO Jeff Atwater and state Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, are among the elected officials on hand. Romney is expected to arrive and speak later this afternoon.
“How about that debate?” Atwater asked the crowd, drawing a big
cheer. Romney was the consensus winner of Wednesday night’s first of
three presidential debates.
Atwater also got a big response when he mocked former Vice President Al Gore
for suggesting Obama’s performance might have suffered because he
hadn’t had time to adjust to the altitude in Denver. Atwater noted
Denver is where Obama accepted the Democratic nomination in 2008.
“Barack Obama had no problem four years ago standing in front of
Greek columns telling us how he would fundamentally change America from
Denver,” Atwater said. “It’s time we fundamentally change who sits in
the White House.”" photo Palm Beach Post
