BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - Barack Obama, a little-known state senator from Chicago's South Side, shot to public notice this summer when he keynoted the Democratic National Convention in Boston.
Now Obama stands on the edge of election by a landslide to the U.S. Senate. He would become the first black male Democrat elected to the Senate, and overnight he could become a party heavyweight.

Obama, according to one published poll, has pulled to a nearly 3-to-1 lead over Keyes.
Howard Dean, according to one published poll, has pulled to a nearly 3-to-1 lead over Kerry.
Want to talk about POLLS????????????????????????
Prayer helps ... so does knocking on doors, registering voter, and myriad other things that might occupy your time.
You mean California, where liberal 'purists' run almost everything?
When you figure out how 'purists' from the other side manage to get into power, while we wring our hands about 'purists' on our side, let me know.
What is amazing is that in FreeRepublic.com, no less, and after all the warnings, there are those who must hate Alan Keyes so much, they campaign against him, right along with anti-American Barack Obama and the DU-types.
They engage and distract conservatives from campaigning for our conservative candidates. They despoil a thread intended by a conservative, to encourage other conservatives, to campaign for a conservative, against an extreme liberal
Isn't there a rule against that? Something about being a troller or disruptor?
Very sad, for them.
They despoil a thread intended by a conservative, to encourage other conservatives, to campaign for a conservative, against an extreme liberal:

How very anti-Free Speech of you.
Funny, different people's perspectives. I kind of thought that thread went downhill when a Keyes supporter told someone to go to hell for asking a question that required a 'yes or no' answer.
Not only are we expected to STHU, we are also expected to take that kind of treatment and not respond - and now you find it appropriate to ping a mod to the thread to try to get people suspended or banned, but not a WORD about that sort of abuse.
Naturally.
I always find that sort of behavior disturbing from someone who is claiming to be a Christian supporting the Christian candidate...
Yeah, and so had Custer at Little Big Horn.
I don't know of the incident you mentioned and it doesn't matter.
Pinging admin and JR doesn't mean I'm seeking nor have the power to call for anyone's banishment.
I'm simply pointing out that it is very unwise, counterproductive, and just about surreal, to campaign against conservatives (and therefore, the conservative cause) on a conservative site --unless one wants to be disruptive of these.
You are quite the drama queen.
Bet if I told you, or if I told a Keyesian the same thing, it would be NukeRBA time!
"I don't know of the incident you mentioned and it doesn't matter" Then you didnt read the other thread and really dont know what the heck you are talking about, do you? Idiot.
Queen? Are they a she or are they a you know....Cheney-type.
Snivel if you will, but Keyes is still a carpetbagger that allowed himself to become a quota black in this race.
Dunno. Don't much care; it sure fits though.
I am talking about your mockery of conservative(s) and/or FReepers seeking to encourage each other in our efforts for a conservative who is campaigning against an extreme liberal --in the state of Illinois.
If someone got so annoyed at this that he typed some outburst, it shows how irritating and revolting that is.
Translation: You didn't read the thread you're complaining about and pinging the A/M to.
It matters to me, because that sort of abusive language is the only reason I posted on the thread in the first place. If you're going to try to accuse me of some sort of wrong-doing, at least have the decency to put it in context.
Funny. How do you know it was a "he" if you didn't read it?
