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.
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?
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.
Perhaps Obama would forgo the chance to name Hillary as his Vice President and select Alan Keyes instead. It may be his big chance.....
Dr. Keyes can be a great spokesman for constitutional government when he stays on message, but he would be a disaster as president.
