That is fantastic news. He will be a top notch candidate.
Prayers for Alan Keyes! There needs to be a change in Illinois now!
This is pretty obvious and expected. You don't make an offer like this public. You extend it privately and if the person turn it down, then you can go on to the next person without that person being publicly perceived as your 2nd choice.
If you make the offer public, that is because the person has indicated he/she will accept.
All right!
Either you're with Keyes, or you're with Obama and the terrorists :-)
I know that Keyes is not from Ill. is Barack Obama?
If Obama is a "home-boy", then Keyes will be an outsider or reverse carpet bagger.
BTW - Don't misunderstand me. I think Keyes is tops. I was priveleged to hear him address the Oklahoma Republican convention over a decade ago. Dynamic speaker and a rock ribbed conservative. I just don't want Republicans looking foolish or desparate. Also, I don't want Keyes tarnished.
Thank you Ambassador Keyes !
Great news. Thank you Alan Keys for being willing to put your shoulder to the wheel. You will do us proud. God bless you, and prayers for your success.
I envy the voters of Illinois. We have Feinstein and Boxer in California. Boxer has got to be the luckiest person around, because Bill Jones doesn't have a snowball's chance of winning this race.
It would be great to see Keyes take out the proclaimed Demorat party's "Rock Star" and his huge warchest.
I have a great respect for Alan Keyes for his high intelligence and excellent communications skills. Here's wishing him the best in his run.
“To have two polar opposites doing Lincoln-Douglas debates is something I look forward to.”
I can hardly wait for the debate! GO ALAN GO!
WooHoo!!!! There's hope for us poor folks here in Illinois!
some of these FREEPERS are pissing on Keyes' chances before the horse is even out of the gate. this defeatism is prevalent at DU.....
I'll give him a donation.
Well it's about time we got some positive news....now let's turn the Obama Wonder into Bad Luck Barack...it's be a battle but it'll be worth it.
Will Bush make a swing through in support? White House support is going to be necessary to overcome Obama's head start.
AMEN!!!
this means that the GOP finally has the guts to go behind Keyes as opposed to letting him be a token speaker. i just wish it didn't have to be in this way
OUTSTANDING! GO ALAN GO!
