It doesn't matter how Keyes got the nod. What's important is that he is a constitutionalist running for the U.S. Senate with the backing of the Illinois GOP instead of some RINO. Although Obama is certainly a rising star, he doesn't have it locked up yet. He went from being basically unopposed (since Ryan shot himself in the foot and Ditka wouldn't make the run), to facing a brilliant, passionate and articulate foe. This is a golden opportunity for the Land of Lincoln, and a great chance to add a real conservative to the Senate.
Your Reaganesqe confidence and optimism is exactly what is needed.
Great post.
And Keyes would be little help in the Senate and you're only speculating;you have absolutely NO proof of what he would or would not do.If the past is prologue,he's no team player;but none of will find out this go-round.He's going to lose and lose badly.

Well put. Keyes is pro-life and pro-gun, too. Go Alan Keyes! Woohoo!
