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.'

Prayers are GREAT and so is the fact that you,unlike some,won't hold others responsible for Alan's loss.
Obviously, thinking is not your forte.
*sigh*
"If Keyes accepts the offer then he'll most likely get the support of most of the GOP. I'd bet that the President will stand beside him on some platform in Illinois at some point during the campaign."
You better believe Bush will be up on a platform with Keyes at some point. Maybe more than once. Bush is desperately trying to make some inroads into the black vote, and to show his support for good conservative black candidates. He'd be a fool not to support Keyes wholeheartedly. Just hope none of his campaign "advisors" tell him otherwise.
I was only responding to YOUR e-mails to ME.
Then you're either lying or blind.
LOL am I adding to your stress?
If he does, will everyone else quit complaining on how the Pubs did Tom McClintock wrong in California?
Our chances moved up tonight from NONE to SLIM. A real conservative vs a real liberal. I'm feeling better already knowing Alan's gonna give Barack Obama a real fight on his hands.
Your record needle's stuck, Linc. The fact is, you guys screwed up. You didn't have a candidate. Now you've got a five-star candidate, only downside, he's from out of town. But that's okay, the Dem is from elsewhere too. So let's can the fretting and the what-might-have-beens, and get the sleeves rolled up. How about it?
That's what I'm referring to.And it doesn't deserve an reply.
But I see that you're up to your old tricks.
Righty-o! :-)
Go Keyes! Up with conservatism!!
Beats me. Who cares? He's running, let's get behind him. Unless...Luis? You're not going to spend the next three months projecting your recent melancholy onto the Keyes campaign threads, are you?
Childish games won't cut it.:-)
Can you afford that much?
You're taunts are still childish.
"Grow up,kid,you're out of your depth here" (you expound to tame).
The problem here is that YOU have no depth, no depth of thought. You're just a johnny one note, down with Keyes, down with Keyes, down with Keyes (oops, that's 3 notes). Well, I wouldn't be making "depth" comments if I were you, as you lack any.
That's ok. At least we can find Keyes' home on a map. The 'Rats are so far out of orbit we can't even get a radar fix on them.
First e-mail came from you to me, and I told you to quit FReemailing me.
You didn't, I got nasty, you stopped.
It worked.
