Good byeeeeeeee!

Alan West demanded his recount and he got it...turned out real good for him.

Results of recounting more than 37,000 St. Lucie County ballots were announced shortly after 2 p.m. Sunday and preliminary figures given by Canvassing Board member Tod Mowery placed Jupiter Democrat Patrick Murphy farther ahead of Republican Allen West than before the two-day effort began. 

Murphy campaign senior advisor Eric Johnson was quick to reaffirm victory.

"As far as we're concerned, this puts an end to it," Johnson said. "The West people demanded a recount. They got that retabulation and Patrick Murphy gained a margin of 242 votes.

""This election is over," Johnson added.

Time for that FoxNews gig.

I believe that should be, "forced-to-resign-for-the-good-of-the-service" Alan West...

Congrats to Murphy who took all that rat threw at him and returned fire just as devastating.
