"I deeply resent the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton's willingness go into a state she doesn't even live in and pretend to represent people there, so I certainly wouldn't imitate it."

-- Alan Keyes, March 2000

I would think such strongly held philosophical beliefs would apply regardless of the differences between Hillary's decision to run in New York and this one. It's obvious Keyes has sold himself out.

It doesn't how you "dress it up," it is what it is.

The only way to stop this silly parsing on Keyes' behalf is to cop to it.
