How is Obama not the issue? That's ridiculous. I get the feeling that defeating Keyes is more important than having a liberal, socialist democrat win. I think I finally get it. People here hate Keyes, more than they do Obama.
Keyes is one of ours. Therefore he is an embarrasment to us. Our party selected him to run. Obama is one of the Dems. He may be wrong but hey we didnt nominate him and we certainly arent voting for him. Obama might be a socialist but no one will ever know it when the comparison is to someone so out of the mainstream as Keyes.
