Winnability aside, I have concerns that Keyes's candidacy will pull down the Republican vote in Illinois congressional races. He's got to get his numbers up to avoid being a drag on fellow Republicans.

Can you say "six thousand volunteers in two weeks and counting?" Illinoisians realized we needed this kind of new momentum, from the real people, in order to reform the state politics.

If Keyes is down 30-40 points 3-4 weeks before the election, would you suggest that these volunteers continue their quixotic efforts? Or do you think their time would better be spent hitting the pavement for Republican congressional candidates?
