Good God the Republican party has thin ranks in Illinois. It's embarassing, really, in the Land of Lincoln.

Keyes is a joke and not a very funny one at that.

I'd love to see Keyes in the Senate, but it's pretty crass for the party to assume they need a black guy (from out of state, no less) to run against another black guy.

I agree.

Alan Keyes speaking about national security and founding principles would have no chance against Usoma Osoma Brat Obama Mama with his . . .

more this, more that, free food, free education, free healthcare, free, free, more, more.

Actually, all you need to win over the blacks in Chicago are two words:

free and more.

Boy those freepers are sure a bunch of knuckle-dragging racists. You can see their hate spilling all over this thread. All those great things they say about Keyes is just a bluff to disguise their ingrained racism.

Even if they have conceded this seat, Alan Keyes would at least make the race "interesting."

Go Alan go?

I would hate to see Keyes offer his best against an unarmed man. It wouldn't be fair...and I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Keyes would be great.

Yeah. Karl Rove would have to scramble fast to come up with a Specter-like RINO to run against him.

What? Is Keyes black? I never noticed that. All the better.

He is the best option.

I hope he runs......and more than that, miraculously actually wins.

. . . that is, the 91% of the retards.

There are always about 9% of the blacks who have common sense, intelligence and insight into the needs of the nation, national secuirity, who desire opportunity (not a freebie) and want national security and opportunity for our future generations.

The other 91% continue to be slaves, not to cotton masters, but slaves to their masters who brainwash them into dependency.

I think this is a bad idea. Keyes should run for office where he lives.

But I agree he should run. He would make an excellent congressman. I love the guy. The only complaint I have ever had about him as a presidential candidate was the fact that he had never held elective office at all, and had never held high office except for UN ambassador.

Winning a congressional seat or a senate seat would resolve that issue, and serving a term in office would give him the seasoning he needs. I would gladly support him at that point for president or anything else. He's young, he's got time if he hurries.
