I don't support Obama, I'm saying carpetbaggers shouldn't run, and if an area can't find a "good" candidate within their own then that's their fault. Should we start importing presidential candidates if we can't find a good conservative for the GOP ticket? Russia seems to have a few to spare, they've got a flat tax and everything, what the heck, let's "draft" one of them in 2008!

You said conservatives deserve to lose in Illinois, if they can't find a homegrown candidate.

What does that kind of statement do? It not only helps Obama, it practically cheers him on.

It's time to set aside the residency purity test you have in your mind, and support the choice of the IL GOP--or just come out for Obama.

Gotta go. Bye.

That's a specious argument and if you're not aware of it you should be.

There's a constitutional requirement for presidential candidates, that they must be U.S. born.

Theirs no constitutional requirement that a senatorial candidate must be from the state where he is a candidate.

As for comparing Hillary and Keyes, it's not the same to me and I am an Illinois voter. It's different to me because I can't stand that POS Hillary and I like Dr. Keyes. -He will get my vote and my monetery support.
