Ambrose,
I’m sure Alan Keyes is considered an unelectable extremist nutjob by the RINO infested California “Republican” voters (what did he get there, like 3% of your primary vote?) Of course, just about anyone to the right of Governor Red Doofus is considered an far right-wing NAZI in California.
Over here in Illinois where we pick actual REPUBLICANS in our primaries, Keyes’ platform is more in line with another “unelectable” conservative:
U.S. Senator Peter G. Fitzgerald (R-IL)
