The stupid party better get with the program.
That's good enough for me. I wish every candidate could honestly say that!
Alan Keyes is the MAN!!
The difference too is that Pat Buchanan wasn't actually from New York. The difference is that Pat Buchanan wanted Keyes to run an Independence/Right-to-Life/Conservative campaign against Giuliani and leave the GOP. The difference is that there was a former pro-life COngressman who stepped forward to make the campaign as the Right-to-Life candidate and Rick Lazio replaced Giuliani, and Lazio wasn't pro-partial birth abortion. The difference between now and then are great.
lol
This is going to be hot!
I agree. Keyes can win this, but he has a lot of catching up to do.
Maybe. We can only hope. However I give it two months before he changes his mind and drops out.
"Illinois conservatives, who have long taken a back seat to business-oriented party moderates, engineered the selection of Keyes as the replacement candidate. "
I like Keyes, but he doesn't have a chance. He's up against the Chicago mob. I hope Keyes gives them hell though. He thinks in terms of ideals. Obama wants to bring home entitlements to his constituents. This makes me believe that Obama should really be running for a seat in the House and not the Senate. He doesn't belong there.
Reconstruction-era (1865-1877) South, Mississippi and Alabama, I think. They were Republicans, BTW.
Win or lose don't matter.
He didn't respond. :(
This all depends on how badly the Party wants the seat. They have given up on Illinois before. For Carol Mosley Braun to have ever been elected at all is a testament against the commitment of the party with regard to Illinois and also a testament to the inexplicable stupidity of Illinois voters. The fact that they keep re-electing Durbin is disturbing enough.

Even if Keyes were to narrow the gap and Obama were to win 55% to 40%, it would still mean that in the state of Illinois, there would be 15% less liberals and 15% more conservative believers. I would call that progress.
It's about time Keyes went out and preached to more than the choir.
Criticism of Hillary back in 2000 for running in the state of NY was lame. If somebody wants to move to a state and run, let them.
However, I do loath Hillary for everything else she stands for.
Keyes will set up his web site soon, but in the meantime contributions gratefully accepted at:

What do you want to be that the specific number is "0"?
