FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – After two previous runs for U.S. president, former Reagan diplomat Alan Keyes has announced he's again seeking the White House in the 2008 election, and he'll take part in Monday night's Republican presidential debate here.
Keyes told syndicated radio host Janet Parshall he's "unmoved" by the lack of moral courage shown by the other candidates, among whom he sees no standout who articulates the "key kernel of truth that must, with courage, be presented to our people."
He added, "The one thing I've always been called to do is to raise the standard ... of our allegiance to God and His authority that has been the foundation stone of our nation's life" – and he decried the lack of "forthright, clear, and clarion declaration" from the current crop of presidential contenders.
As a result, Keyes said, "We're putting together an effort that's not going to be like anything before, because it's going to be entirely based on citizen action. We're going to be challenging people to take a pledge for America's revival," and elevate them from spectators in the political arena to participants.

Ron Paul no longer in last place!
The clobbering he took in his race for the senate must have him filled with confidence.
Is this for real?
yep, this is for real.
At least Alan means well.
Uhh, yeah.
OK.
Sure.
Next Gingrich will announce that he will run. Then what are we gonna do?
Keyes was beat out by a Democrat called Obama in a majorly Democratic State .. Illinois, I would hardly call it a clobbering. I look forward to hearing Keyes in Debate, he is eloquent
Keyes looks to rescue GOP, announces run for president
the quest for matching federal funds!!!
OK, dumb Aussie question here:
Who?
The name rings a bell but I’m drawing a blank.
So does every other “No chance in Hell” person who decides to run. Except for the moment of self-gratification someone might get from contributing to one of these doomed to failure campaigns, I cannot see the point. Flush your money down the toilet instead, it is closer and you do not need a stamp.
I’m looking pretty good.
When I compare some of the dumb things I’ve done with this action, My record doesan’t really look so bad.

Well, I really love Alan... but he just can’t be serious.
His personal checking account must need an infusion.
I know... I was just trying to put some sort of positive spin on something that probably won’t have anything positive said about it anywhere... I did forget to label that post as sarc though, too.
He got beat 70% to 28% for a seat previously held by a Republican.
Keyes has as much chance of winning as Donald Trump marrying Rosie O’Donnell.
