some of these FREEPERS are pissing on Keyes' chances before the horse is even out of the gate.
I couldn't agree with you more. You have the situation analyzed quite well.
Maybe. But I haven't heard the president utter the word "abortion" once during this campaign. Given that this is one of Keyes signature issues, I'm not sure Bush will be so eager to campaign with him. We shall see.
"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.
