Klein lost Tuesday to Allen West, a tough-talking retired Army lieutenant colonel from Deerfield Beach. He will become the first black Republican to represent Florida in Congress since the 1870s.
It was a rematch of their race two years ago in the 22nd District. Klein was an easy winner then, but West turned the tables this year on the Boca Raton lawyer.
With 80 percent of the expected vote counted, West had 55 percent while Klein had 45 percent.
The district is almost equally divided between Democrats and Republicans. Klein defeated longtime Republican Congressman Clay Shaw in 2006.

That’s great news. The Jewish people have a strong friend in Colonel West.
Big deal, he (Kline) is Jewish-Good Riddance you Obama-maniac. West is a war hero, I thank him and congradulate him.
Don’t care if he’s jewish he in the pocket of obama and pelosi and we had enough of them. Next we going after making obama a one term president and go together with carter.
Wake up Bob- the progressives, liberal elite are the enemies of Israel. West, because of his background and what he stands for is already, from Day1 light years ahead of your Klein guy.
