Let the debates begin.
Former Presidential hopeful Dr. Alan Keyes has told Illinois Republicans that he would accept their request to take on Democrat Barack Obama in the US Senate race.
Members of the Republican State Central Committee insisted that the former radio and television commentator make the promise to run before they would give him the nod Wednesday night, sources told the Chicago Sun Times on Thursday.
The Republicans were leery of voting to give Keyes the nomination without some guarantees.
So he went back into the room and bascially said, 'If you offer, than I will accept.'
Another GOP source said that Keyes had agreed to accept the nomination but told the committee that he wanted to wait until he could publicly announce it at a 'campaign style' rally on Sunday.
'He told them that he would do it,' the source said. 'he just wanted to take a few days to put things together and make his announcement.'

I'm not sure what you're referring to since you apparently don't know how to cut and paste quotes.
BTW, you never answered my question: Are you against Keyes because he's black?
And what are you contributing other than insults?
You either support the conservative candidate irrespective of whether he can win or not.
Apparently, principles, convictions and ideology don't matter to you.
As I said, you're either on our camp or you're not. So far, from what I've ready you're from the other camp.
GO ALAN GO!!
Facts aren't insults.;^)
I'm not Borg idiot.
tell you what, the next time we need someone down here in Florida to face down the DNC while trying to steal an election, I'll give you a call.
Another insult? Again, I'm not sure what you're referring to since you don't apparently know how to cut and paste quotes. PLEASE learn how to do this so that people can tell what in the world you're referring to.go
Oh yes and you have millions to send Keyes.LOL
And I for one will certainly blame noone for whatever the outcome, but rather thank God for attending our concerns.

Thank you and God bless you Alamo-Girl.
Have you ever heard of the term Molon Labe?
The limit is two thousand bucks per.
That IS a childish question. :-)
Thank you so much for the blessing, YngConservative! May God bless you too!!!
Then the fact is you need to learn some html skills such as cutting and pasting quotes so that we know what in the world you're referring to, RINO.
"Rah, Rah, Obamaaaaaaa."
If you're asking how much I make, I'm not available so don't get your hopes up.
Keyes shares that veiw with Bill Clinton.
Keyes continued to run in Republican primaries in 2000 long after Bush had won the nomination. Keyes hoped to get enough delegates so he could speak at the Republican convention in 2000 and Trash Bush. Bush barred Keyes from the Republican 2000 convention. Keyes set up shop in a nearby building and spent the Republican convention trashing Bush. Even the leftist media could not stumach that.
After the Illinois primary in 2000, Keyes Called Gore A truthful man and called Bush a Liar.
After Keyes called Bush a liar the medis asked the obvious question of Keyes. They asked, "Dr. Keyes are you going to vote for Bush or Gore?"
Keyes in his best Bill Clinton style answered with a question. Keyes asked "Is it better to vote for a truthful man or a liar?"
The press reported it as Keyes is going to vote for GORE!
If you think Keyes really does think Bush ia a Liar and Gore is truthful, then who do you think Keyes voted for in 2000.
Someone needs to ask Keyes since he believes Bush to be liar, does he think that Kerry like Gore tells the truth.
Keyes is a charlaton as anyone who has spent more than an hour with him knows. Keyes is the rights Bill Clinton Except Clinton is not as crooked as Keyes.
Gee, I notice you've never answered the question. What's the answer?
Say what you want, Luis.
It will fit your political/cultural agenda very nicely to see a democrat win over a republican.
God bless and welcome aboard!
