KEYES PLANNING TO RUN! (Accepts GOP IL Senate Bid)
Chicago Sun Times ^ | 8/05/4 | Scott Fornek

Posted on 08/05/2004 7:50:40 PM PDT by gopwinsin04

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.'

That's what I'm referring to.And it doesn't deserve an reply.

What is what you're referring to? Goodness, learn some html skills or even type out the quotes if you have to.

So, you still have not answered: you don't like Keyes because he's black?

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.

Not what happened. "Rah, Rah, go Obamaaaaaaaa!"

...I am a broken glass Republican, and my loyalty to the GOP gives me the right to opine freely...

You're not loyal to the GOP, Luis. The GOP invited Dr Keyes to run. The President would have approved that invitation. Speaker Hastert is going to appear for Dr Keyes, perhaps the President will too. JR was delighted to hear this news, last night.

So let's not hear any more from you about 'loyalty', okay?

This seems a hail marry candidacy.

To have a shot keys is going to have to attack negative fast and run hard and heavy AND, this is the sticky part, some heavy hitters will have to make appearances with him.

Obama's mixed past will have to be attacked. His commie philosophy will have to be attacked. Obama's lack of support for the FMA must become an issue.


In the end the black vote will still be 90+% for the DNC candidate.

ANYBODY tell me keys has a shot of bringing another R to the senate.

I just can't wait to hear these two debate.

This will be far better than the typical conservative versus RINO debate in which we typically find Alan Keyes.

Conservative American values versus the Democrat's pandering and destructive socialist agenda.

Good versus evil, personified.

This will be Daniel versus Lions. Live from the lion's den.

Dr. Keyes is a man who can speak. Some homo-liberal-journalist said that when he listened to Dr. Keyes he was almost persuaded to follow him. Can't remember the name of the book right now.

I simply restated what you said legibly.

Your posts are so garbled, you know.

But there can be no doubt that that was the exact thrust of your post.

Idiotic.

He did the same to me last night. He wouldn't have much of a vocabulary if he cut out the profanity.
