YAHOOO! Let the fireworks begin!!!
I like Alan Keyes. He lives here in Maryland and will have to move to Illinois before the election in order to be eligible to run. Keyes ran for the Senate unsuccessfully here in Maryland where he never really had much of a chance. I've met him before when he hosted a nationwide radio show out of WCBM in Baltimore (Owings Mills). Alan has two problems. First and foremost, he will be seen as a carpetbagger moving into Illinois at the last minute .... although that didn't stop Hillary in New York, Illinois is another battle altogether. Alan will need a lot of support from the State GOP and a huge get out the vote drive. The second problem .... which is not his fault, is the fact that he is getting into the game very late. He has yet to campaign, and I'm not sure what he can do at this point to raise money for a campaign at this juncture. He will do fine in the debates, but he will need money and lots of support from the State GOP there. It will be an uphill battle, but God I hope he wins!
