Allen West on redistricting: "No one's gonna lay a trap for me"
Tea Party-linked GOP Rep. Allen West (R-FL) is taking the possibility that the Republican establishment wants him out of office -- as suggested by a number of conservative bloggers -- in stride.
In an interview Thursday, West discussed CBS News Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson the newly-drawn political map in Florida that made his own district more competitive -- a map drawn by the GOP-controlled Florida legislature. West announced earlier this week that he will seek re-election in a new district to increase his odds of victory.
"No one's gonna lay a trap for me," he said.
Check out CBSNews.com's interview with West at left, in which he also offers his thoughts on Mitt Romney's big win in Florida and other topics.
