“remember obama killed keyes 2 years ago.”
Well that article intentionlly left him out among other less well known candidates. The question is why? The article also has little good to say about any conservative. It seems to be cheering on ilk like Giuliani. Lets look at what it says about other conservatives:
“Sen. Fred Thompson: (P, I) A cantankerous, old, white senator from the South to balance a cantankerous, old, white senator from the West? ...
Rep. Duncan Hunter: (S, I) It’s tough enough for a senator to jump to the White House, let alone a little-known congressman. Another old white male hawk from Capitol Hill? Nope....
Tancredo, Tommy Thompson, Brownback, Ron Paul: No, no, no and HAYUHL no.”
Keyes was as you say “killed” by Obama in the dem stronghold of Illinois. Any other outsider last minute GOP candidate would have been as well. They sure understand voters fraud in Illinois. Keyes was obviously a sacrifice, but at least he got to debate conservative issues with Obama.
The only way McCain has any chance whatsoever is if he appeases the conservative base. And not with a faux conservative. Perhaps someone like Fred or Duncan or Newt. Naming a “conservative” like Huckabee or Giuliani will not gain him conservative votes. It will just embolden the conservatives that already can’t stand him.
Newt? No.
Hunter? No.
Hunter endorsed Huckabee...doh
