Republicans controlled the legislature in 2000 and made a district for a Claw Shaw a former Republican representative from the area who won a fluke election in a D+9 district. They basically took all the Republicans in Broward and Palm Beach counties and put them in one highly gerrymandered district. That was about 50-50% which West won (see below for map of 2000-2010 district).

Then Florida voters passed referendums preventing the legislature from using incumbent protection as a factor in redistricting and as such there was no legal way not to make the district much more Democratic.

Romney Spokesman Behind Plan to Redistrict Allen West out of Office

This has not received a lot of national attention, but the Republican legislature in Florida is about to push through a plan which puts Allen West at serious risk, and the person leading the effort is one of Mitt Romney’s spokesmen [Will Weatherford]

Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are Americans voted in to office by Americans. Just because you do not agree with their opinions does not make you more American.
