The liberal Democrats and the liberal media clearly view Dr. Keyes as "uppity" (maybe he's too bright for them) and they want to spread the notion that there is only one black candidate, so they're systematically ignoring Keyes too.
I don’t support Alan Keyes, but his votes deserve to be counted.
The eternal victim... please. Step aside Alan, this act is getting old.
Yeah, like we really need to hear that this charlatan received 0.00005% of the votes. OK. I’m not loosing sleep over it.
I like Alan Keyes very much, though not for President and he has a talent for saying incredibly impolitic things.
write it in?? you don’t write your vote at a caucus
How much reparation money are we talking to make him go away ?
Ok, he got 65. Now everyone can go rest and sleep. Incidentally, Mickey Mouse got 82.
Yeah, that’s sarcastic, but please, who the flip cares? Alan should go back to his excellent scholarly roots and leave these stupid stunts alone.
They reported Tancredo’s vote even though he had withdrawn, but tehy couldn’t be bothered to report the Keyes vote when he’s an active candidate. And you’re not losing sleep ove that?
Which I think is something we need.
What possible difference could it make? Do you think he won?
write it in?? you dont write your vote at a caucus
Keyes is not afraid to state his support for a strict interpretation of the Constitution. That makes him enemies in the ranks of the Republican elitists.
Keyes would make a great President, but he has no chance in heck of getting nominated - especially after his poor showing in Illinois.
Agreed....his votes should be counted, and announced.
Oh, fudge, is that why he wasn't counted in Iowa, his supporters were in Illinois?
More seriously, he's got 73 pledge signers on his website from Iowa. Maybe twelve of them made it to the caucuses.
Excuse me?
Do you think Hunter won? Or Tancredo? (Or Romney, for that matter?) Yet their votes were reported. But somehow, they can’t get around to acknowledging Keyes’s votes.
By your standards, maybe we should only report the number of people who voted for the winner and not anyone else’s. It’s vastly more efficient.
Bingo. They'd rather lose with just their little country-club clique than join with conservatives or constitutionalists and actually win.
Besides, that Keyes fellow is so NOKD.
Remember when Ed Gillespie, the former RNC chair, told the Manchester Union-Leader that there was no room for limited government types in the GOP? It looks like the party has been taken over by Rockefeller Republicans.
So Keyes is gonna pitch a fit and bring the appearance of impropriety on his own party because the didn’t count the 5 votes for him?
What a jerk
In the Iowa caucus there is no writing, you go to the location and they count you by group or something
