West would be a great choice! He got railed for doing a great job in the sand pit too.
You are abso-loving-lutly right to contribute and campaign for people like him. Lot of folks don't like the current slate of candidates but will only bitch and moan about the choices they have in front of them. Screw that. People need to get off their beer drinking asses and put people in office that will make a difference.
Great idea to find those better choices (like West) and help them get elected.
