Alan Bergstein of Boca Raton kisses the hand of U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Plantation, Sunday, Sept. 9, 2012 at the Embassy Suites in Boca Raton. The Republican Jewish Coalition held a 2012 Victory Rally to drum up support against the Democrats. West, a popular if polarizing GOP up-and-comer, was supporting Mitt Romney's presidential platform with an emphasis on Israel. 'I contacted him (West) when he was overseas and we've had a great relationship since,' Bergstein said. 'He's like my adopted son.'
