As to the prospect of getting more people to like Keyes, I'm not at all pessimistic. In the 2000 campaign, he went down to Alabama and addressed the state GOP at their presidential 'beauty pageant'. He won the end-of-meeting vote. As best I can tell, the more that folks hear him, the better he does.
