Dr. Keyes is polling under 25% not because the RINOs in Springfield have abandoned him and not because Mr. Obama is some kind of electoral demigod.

He is polling under 25% because, even though he knew he would be facing an adversarial press and a passive party organization, he spoke incautiously and focused on the wrong things. He could have polled over 40% even with his handicaps - but he just did a bad job.

You're right, he's run a horrible campaign and deserves the credit all to himself. I think whether this was forseeable by those who slated him is a legitimate, though insider, issue.

He always does a bad job. He does not yet understand that running for office entails getting more votes than your opponent. He still thinks the public is waiting in their chains for his chiseled tablets.
