I think both Keyes and his followers recognize that he is the longest of long shots to EVER win high political office. I think he is too inflexible on a number or issues, like the one discussed on this thread, and his avowed (and ridiculous) intention of overturning Roe V. Wade during his Presidential bid. HOWEVER, he HAS gotten farther than either Nader or Buchanan as a "can't win" candidate, and he will ALWAYS be ten times the debater on ANY issue of importance than ANY mainstream candidate. That unfortunately does not serve him terribly well in the present political climate of soundbites and glib rhetoric.
I have considerable differences with him, but I would vote for him anyway, just as he says he has differences with Bush, but would vote for HIM.

Voting for Keyes is a vote for the nimrods in the IL republican party that somehow, thought it would be a neat idea to bring in an out of state guy who is universally disliked by voters.

You try to figure out the complete madness of the party, I just think they went mental. And when Alan loses for the 5th time, will the godsquad ask why God's candidate can't win?
