Hmm.

That is predicated on whether or not Obama should have been in the race to begin with, is it not? e.g. If Obama should not have been a candidate to begin with, who can say how Keyes would have done against Hillary?

By running while not being qualified, Obama poisoned the process.

Or does that not matter in the eyes of the law once Obama signed the papers and started the campaign?

The Court is going to ask what will happen now if it allows the suit to go forward, instead of speculating about what might have happened last year had things been different. The only thing that would happen now if a court were to find Obama disqualified is that Joe Biden would become President. Alan Keyes has no more standing to seek that result than you or I do. (Again, my only point here is that saying "Alan Keyes was a candidate" doesn't mean he has standing.)

The courts can still reverse the Electoral College certification. My question is how would McCain have faired against Hilary? I believe McCain/Palin would have won.
