In short, Keyes is observing a greater good than Federalism, by fightin Obama's holocaust.

He is also not violating our principles Federalism. Illinois sovereignly sought him out and asked him to run. Illinois has the sovereign right to do that, according to the U.S. Constitution.

Illinois will not let residents of other states tell us what we cannot do.

The whole state has not sought him out...However, those folks who did have a right to ask him and then the state has a right to vote to endorse that decision.

But even using Keyes opponents' point for the sake of argument, it still does not fly. Lives are at stake. Obama would end those lives; Keyes would save those lives. A greater good.

Of course Illinois has that right/power/prerogative, that's not in contention.

You cannot claim that Alan Keyes is not a carpetbagger with any credibility.
