"For Keyes to have any chance, the Republicans have to find him a spot at the RNC. "

I wondered how long it would take for Keyes' supporters to start demanding that he be allowed to speak at the national convention.

There are only a few hours of prime time TV coverage and there are 30 Republican Senate candidates.

Keyes knew before he accepted the nomination that he had no right to expect a prime time speaking spot.

If he and/or his supporters start the anti-GOP, anti-Bush whining again he will find a lot of Republicans are fed up with his vanity campaigns and the gloves will come off in a way that they haven't before.

"...a lot of Republicans are fed up with his (Keyes) vanity campaigns and the gloves will come off in a way that they haven't before."

I wonder how many Republican conservatives know that one of Keyes' "vanity campaigns" was his campaign to be the Libertarian Party of New York's candidate for the US Senate in 1998? Keyes lost the Libertarian nomination - and so decided to once again be a Republican and run for President in 2000.

Alan Keyes - a "principled, committed," conservative wanting to run as a LIBERTARIAN from New York - and losing the nomination so he "reverts" to the Republican Party. Now, THAT sounds like a RINO.
