What is the best way to theme page--front with twitter bootstrap? I am trying to create a user dashboard by design a flat menu for page--front.tpl.php, and the twitter 3.0 bootstrap. My current site is using Omega's OHM responsive theme as default, so my question is, how do I apply twitter bootstrap to just a SINGLE tpl file?

There's a part 2 if its related, copying page.tpl.php and calling it page--front.tpl.php isn't being recognized (I do this within ohms templates/system dir, and cleared cache). I've read through Drupal.se, and googled it and tried the variety of things - but I guess I don't understand how drupal recognizes page--front. Do I assign a piece of content as home page then it gets applied? If so, that's the page I need specifically themed with bootstrap only.
You might want to switch the theme entirely. You could simply use something like: https://www.drupal.org/project/themekey

Regarding the regcognition of page--front.tpl.php, 
rename your existing page.tlp.php to page--default.tpl.php
