he is still vastly more conservative than McCain (Mr. CFR)/Romney (see pic)/Giuliani (where do I even start?)

All the conservatism in the world doesn't mean anything if you can't put it to work by not getting elected.

The 3 RINOs you cite have been elected to office, BTW. Keyes has never been elected to any public office, he's lost 2 Senate races and 2 presidential campaigns. He's a joke with thousands of dollars in debt. If he hadn't been a U.N. Ambassador he'd be a nobody.

It sure scares these people to death when a true conservative enters the race.

Hello there are already 4 true conservatives in the race, and they've all held elected office. Get back to me when Keyes gets elected to something higher than town board supervisor.

“All the conservatism in the world doesn’t mean anything if you can’t put it to work by not getting elected.”

That is the mentality that has given us the Arlen Specters of the GOP. Thanks but no thanks.

This reminds of the Simpson’s episode where Bart keeps reaching for the cupcake and he gets shocked every time.

Why can't he compete? Money?

He is a highly inept campaigner with absolutely no political skills.

Keys doesn’t have the stuff to be competative, and the money also is lacking from that as well.

[A CA Guy]

Keys doesn’t have the stuff to be taken seriously, form a following and to build support.
What he says is very often worth listening to, but he doesn’t inspire people to follow him.

Outside of that I like him and he is a nice person.

Now seeing Alan debate, that's worth tuning in for.

I emphatically concur. He's likely not to win the nomination, but he'll have an impact on the "discussion" among Republican nominees. And that's a good thing.
