..some people dote on that fire-and-brimstone old-time-religion speechifying. Most people are hugely put off by it...

We'll see. Personally, I abhor dilettantes who snipe away from the sidelines, and spend too much time worrying about their image to actually accomplish anything. So it's all subjective. I would say to those who don't like Dr Keyes style, 'fine. Have your little shot at him, and move on. If you're going to stalk the threads, dismay his supporters, and undermine the morale of his campaign, then at least be honest- it's not just his style, you dislike.'

What I'm worried about is that Keyes will put the Indian sign on some GOP candidates who are facing tough campaigns, such as congressmen who are in swing districts.

Keyes won't help their chances and may well harm them.

Well, that just about covers Keyes to a "t".
