Keyes looks to rescue GOP

Like he did when he carpetbagged into Illinois to challenge Obama for the Senate?

That worked out real well.

Alan moved to and ran for the Illinois US Senate at the request of the Chairman of the Illinois GOP. To label him as a "carpetbagger" is not really deserved.

If you will recall Jack Ryan was running against Obama. Jack got caught up in a sex scandal and dropped out. No Illinois republican had the balls to step up and take Ryan's place, hence they went outside the state fo a candidate.
