I know you wouldn't want to give the impression that you don't have problems with Alan Keyes, but given the times we live in, you should support the GOP Senate nominee in Illinois. We can't afford to lose any Republican-held Senate seats, particularly to flaming liberals like Obama.
There are lots of FReepers who have honest disagreements with Keyes' style, and with his characterization of George W. Bush's stem cell decision as "evil in leadership". I'm not going to forget that; it was uncalled for.
His tendency to criticize many of the very people he wants to vote for him and his condescension on moral matters turns a lot of us off.
He needs to be within 20 points of Obama or he likely won't get a debate.
If I were in Illinois, I'd vote for him, and I do wish him luck. But he hasn't a chance in hell.
