Not to hold a grudge, but Keyes and the accompanying Illinois Circus known as the Illinois Republican Party screwed things up for us for a long time to come with his Senate run.

LOL...

That’s like blaming the EMTs because they couldn’t save your ninety-six year old grandfather who smoked three packs of cigs a day.

So, is any of the press actually going to cover this “press conference”?

The man is brilliant, but he has no charisma is is wasting time and money in these futile political forays.

He is the last candidate I supported with serious money (back in 2000 and I have the Certificate of Appreciation to prove it)

The first Congressional in Tennessee was wide open a few years back and he could have had a seat in the House, no question. I wish he had done it. I sent that suggestion to as meany of his people as I could find, but never got any sort of reply.

I will see how long I can hang in. His rhetorical style wears very thin, very fast for me, last time I was able to hear him

Of course, he is... And it’s sad to see him go. The Maverick wanted to mine him for advice on how to run against Obama since Keyes did such an awesome job running against the Messiah in the U.S. Senate race... snark off...

In other words, no press coverage to speak of for this "press conference".

Because Alan Keyes is irrelevant, except for a few suckers True Believers.

That's okay, though, as long as they continue to send him donation$.

Go bother someone else. Our world doesn’t turn around a bunch of Democrat Media hacks. Real people will get the message, and that’s what counts.

Thanks for posting. It’ll be interesting to see the GOP apologists coming out of the woodwork to criticize Dr. Keyes.

Serious and honest question. What is Alan going to accomplish if he makes another run for POTUS?

I would like to see a picture of how many people attended this “press conference”. I'm sure they invited a lot of empty chairs.

Keyes needs to go and hide in some local think tank somewhere. He is embarrassing.

No, no, no! We *want* the GOP apologists on this thread. It’s fun to watch them explain how their candidate is somehow a conservative.

Your world also doesn't have much semblance of reality either...IIRC, you were claiming up until the day of the election that Alan Keyes was going to win over Obama in Illinois. Instead, Obama beat Keyes like the proverbial drum.

But, I understand, what counts is to get a few more real people suckers to send $$$$.

What's your cut of the take? At least minimum wage, I hope.

They want to make sure Obama wins.

“Serious and honest question. What is Alan going to accomplish if he makes another run for POTUS?”

Serious and honest answer from my personal perspective: help to establish a viable third party to challenge the GOP hegemony on the political right. Perhaps replace the GOP when it “Whigs” out.

Conservatives are going to lose this election regardless of which major party candidate wins. Conservatives have not had much political representation in a major political party since 1988. This is a step toward establishing that representation.

It would appear that the GOP Association of Apologists, Bootlickers, and Toadies are out in force as well.

Keyes has no chance to win, but at least I will be able to live with myself if I get a chance to vote for him. He is a good man, not just some lesser of two evils.

Just talked to some folks on the ground.

Unfortunately, the facility is having bandwidth difficulties that I doubt they’re going to be able to remedy.

They’ll have the video up as soon as they can.

They did say that there is a lot of press there.

The young man speaking has quite a story to tell. He lost three family members in the WTC on 9-11.

I believe Carmen Mercer of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps is up next, and then Dr. Keyes.

Oh well, looks like I’ll wait until the video is finalized. But what I’ve heard of the introduction sounds like it’s official that Keyes will run for the Constitution Party bid.
