Alan Keyes is fantastic, but he'd never get elected. The Liberal Press would eat him alive.
IMHO, he's the most prinipled man in politics today, probably one of the most in the last 60-70 years. And that is exactly why the media would eat him alive, and all the Dems would scream. Because thats all they could do, because they couldn't match Keyes in a debate on issues.
Lastly, he wouldn't get elected because there would still be some whites who wouldn't vote for a black man. I doubt if very many women would find him very "charming" or "good looking" like Bill Clinton. Too many blacks call him an Uncle Tom, or that he's too whiteyized. His principles go against the lack of principles of the gay community and their enablers.
Basically, the only ones that would vote for him are the ones that believe character, integrity, and virtue are the most important asspects for a POTUS.
If Alan Keyes does run, buy Nabisco stock, their cookie sales will go through the roof.
Forget the press, the RNC does it without any help, remember when they had him handcuffed and arrested for tryng to participate in a debate?
The guy has never gotten over 40% in any general election.
