I hope your comment was a spoof! The day Alan Keyes would run with McCain is the day he has a severe brain injury. The 2 are so far from each other on the spectrum. Do you not understand? McCain could care less about the party or the platform! The Party doesn't even care about the platform! so...who is the buffoon?

Keyes knows more about running a country than McCain, and Keyes has a stronger backbone. If this country ends up in a crisis, Keyes is the one who would bring us through it, not McCain, who flips his position as easily as a pancake can be flipped.

I don't think that's what I intimated, but I would like to see him as Ambassador to the UN again. Securing conservative appointments as opposed to sitting out would preclude some serious mischief that will happen should McCain still win beholden thereafter only to a "moderate" leftist agenda.

My point is that much of what a McCain administration would accomplish without conservatives in it would be irreversible. Best to exact a price for conservative support in advance in the way of appointed positions than to pretend we could undo the consequences later.

I love what Alan Keyes says far more than what he does. Supporting him will get us nothing, especially if by doing so it opens the floodgates to amnesty and citizenship for illegals.
