No it's not. He's kicking tail on the ground in Illinois.
Don't invent some alternate reality based on your disagreement with him on one thing.
You're better than that.
What proof do you have that Keyes is kicking tail in Illinois? I see this guy as being lucky to draw 40% of the vote.
You got a poll to back that up?
I still think that with stances like this, he's cementing his place out on the fringe that will turn off many conservatives who otherwise would have voted for him; And most black Democrats will see through his pandering.
He's shooting himself in the foot.
