As a 1996 and 2000 Keyes supporter, let me just say “ALAN — QUIT IT ALREADY!!!”.
He lost me when he pulled out the “race card” in the 2000 cycle, and then his disastrous Illinois campaign pretty much sealed him as a political non-entity. This is a pure vanity campaign, and one wonders why Keyes continues to do this.
Well, in fairness to Keyes, he was brought into the IL senate campaign because Judy Barr I’llstinkya refused to support Jack Ryan fight against some particularly heinous RAT tactics. There was no hope right from the start, frankly. I’llstinkya willingly gave the seat to Obama, RINO that she is.
But I agree with all your other points.
