Dude, I would vote for Keyes in a heartbeat over Barrack Obama bin Laden. I'M GOP and will always be. It's a shame that so many GOPers in IL don't feel the same. But it is the reality, we should have fielded a better candidate, that is our job and we failed.
Quit living in the past, man.
That's good to hear, and I'm glad I didn't embarrass myself by suggesting otherwise. But our duty doesn't start on November 2, when voters get to actually vote.

It is also our job to elect the best person for the job, among the candidates that are available. You're right: it is our job to ensure the best candidate is on the ticket, as well. I like Keyes on the ticket, and I think that with our support, he can win. We need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot and discouraging people from going out and voting their consciences. It is also our job to facilitate that environment, and by constantly telling people "Keyes is a nut" and so forth, we are hurting, rather than helping, our cause.
