This author is not a Republican and the bias is obvious. If nothing else, for the blurb on THK at the end.
I seem to remember predictions that Ambassador Keyes was only expected to get 15% of the vote, now it's closer to 25%.
How is this an impediment to the Republicans of Illinois?
The best tool that Keyes has is to point out the differences between himself and the Dem. Abortion, homosexual marriages and morality in general **is** the difference and there is no reason for Keyes to change.
If the Illinois Republicans did not know how consistent Ambassador Keyes is on moral issues, they did not do their homework, and the Illinois GOP has much bigger problems.
Ryan still polled over 40% in the polls almost a month after he had pulled out (no pun intended). I dont think the Keyester has reached 25% yet. Last I saw he was 17% in one poll and 20% in another. Go Keyes, lose half of your vote within a few weeks of campaigning. Better if he had just put his name on the ballot and stayed in MD.
