There are precious few leaders out there doing the things that need to be done to drive the conservative agenda. And there are none who are any better at it than Alan Keyes.

You're right that there are very few.

But the failure of an uncompromising conservative leader to win office in Maryland is hardly grounds for crucifixion.

No crucifixion, just holding him to the standards you want to apply to the rest of us. For that matter, I don't know why he had to run in Maryland. Didn't he grow up (or at least attend high school) in Texas?

I've never heard of him living in Texas.

His roots in Maryland go back a couple of hundred years. It is his home, one that he cares about a great deal.

Hey, by the way, who are you supporting in the Senate race down there?
