Just when I was ready to flip and join FReepers for Obama-Nation you go and post this. I can't fight the list though. You make Dr. Keyes sound like Thomas freaking Jefferson.

Pal even Reagan broke his 11th Commandemnt occasionally.
Another Urban Myth.

I can't explain why going left of Obama makes him more electable. Maybe I'm missing something.

LOL. And Ronald Reagan will never be governor...
To: Jim Robinson
You are right JR,
I will be happy when I cast my vote for Keyes. I hope he wins.
And Andrea Zinga in the race against Lane Evans. Lane Evans has been a stealth representative for ten years now, however he still clings to his seat. The district is falling apart but people vote for Lane time after time.

I used to like Mr. Keyes, unfortuantely i feel perhaps he's gone a little over the top on this one. No necessarily for his opinion but for the way he expressed it with such callousness. I may be biased because I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body. :)

I would like to see Keyes in the Senate. I would also like Bill Clinton to give Hillary a good case of the claps. Neither event is very likely.
To: Captain Peter Blood
I've not seen anyone here call it a realistic hope. We are hoping AGAINST hope...looking for a miracle...and we fully acknowledge that.
Sometimes the lost cause is the one most worth fighting for.

Not the same comparison and you know it.
Reagan had honed his style, persona and speech making skills over many years as an actor and TV host for GE.
Reagan also had a core group of Republican backers that were able to initially help him raise money.
Reagan had a personality and skills very few candidates ever have and he also came across as a very likable guy.
Alan Keyes, other than the ability to speak well, has no real attributes as a candidate and is not a likable person.
He just is not able to make the sale to the voter. Why are so many people like you blind to his track record? The guy just is not an electable person. Now if we had a Parliamentary system where a good safe seat could be had then he could win. There just aren't any safe seats for Keyes to run for. Also the polls are showing what I long felt would happen, people in Illinois really don't want an outsider as their Senator. Don't bring up Hillary as that is a different deal and a special case out of the normal.
Keyes just can't win as a candidate for any office that includes Dogcatcher.
To: xm177e2
Now I'm totally confused. Do you have any idea what you stand for?

Don't start with that Lost cause stuff.
This did not have to be a lost cause race to begin with.
If the Republican Party in Illinois had just taken the time to find a candidate or candidates to run for this Senate Seat it could have been different.
But they ended up with sleazy Ryan and went downhill from there.
Hard truth is you have to cut your losses and go on.
Jim Thune in S.D. has a real shot at winning that seat from Daschule and that is where resources must go. To real possibilities not Pipe dreams like Keyes.
To: Captain Peter Blood
I don't know about dogcatcher, but I know he'd be better at the job of US Senate than Obama. Thanks for your opinion, but I'll be backing Keyes.
To: Jim Robinson
Yes he would be better than Obama he just can't win.
To: swheats
Yea but how many newborns will have to die before Obama gets his wakeup call Many I supppose because Keyes will never be able to do anything about it as he will never be elected or get anyone elected. He is the kiss of death to any candidate. I doubt Keyes could get elected President of even an Evangelical organization...unless the organization consisted of him and a fax machine.

He is the kiss of death to any candidate.On the contrary, he is a candidate whom others should emulate. I certainly expect he will be hated, because he does not mince words. But it comes as something as a surprise to see him personally attacked for such a virtue from people who hang out in this forum. What gives?
