The real Alan Keyes bears no resemblance to the caricature his detractors are trying to paint.
There was an email from his campaign in my mailbox this morning, asking for input on whether or not Alan Keyes should pursue the Constitution Party nomination this year. I told em, in part, that it will surely take a miracle for Alan to be elected, and that switching parties didn't seem to increase the chance of such a miracle to me. I urged him to continue to campaign as a Republican until the convention.
I don't think Keyes is involved because of his ego. I think he's involved because he doesn't see any other candidate standing up for the ideas that have been central in the American rise, nor standing against the overt push to remove any notion of God from the public square. A lot can happen between now and August, even though McCain has already won enough delegates to get the nomination. Who would have imagined the turn of events this week about the New York Governor? I'm glad Alan Keyes is still running.
