Alan Keyes would be an excellent choice as McCain's running mate, provided he could learn to tone down his rhetoric a little. It's too bad that he wouldn't get to debate Obama--That would be something to see He already ran against Obama in 04 Illinois and got 27%. I could do better than that, even in Illinois.

This is got to be a bogus story. Keyes ran against Obama and got his butt kicked. 27%
statewide. Bush of all people got 29% in COOK COUNTY that same year.
Keyes needs to stick to the speaker's circuit and not leak bogus stories like this one.

This could definitely effect my plans to vote for Keyes.

“””no one can beat him on substance””
(Family member still has his MD Senate campaign bumper sticker...we loved his first entry on the public stage)
Sadly, just like Newt - the MSM somehow manages to manipulate quirky personal idiosyncracies against such geniuses......and it always works.
One has to wonder if biased TV pundits would have demolished Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.

For all the crap Quayle gets, at least he has won five elections and only lost with GHWB's re-election. If GHWB listened to Quayle on taxes, he might have beaten Clinton.
I think these days, Potato(e) wouldn't have even registered as a blip.

Dan Quayle is an excellent man who was completely sucker punched by a hostile media.

I agree. Keyes is a moral, honest man who increasingly comes off as strange. Obama’s “Reverend” is immoral and dishonest.

I think conservatives that denounce Keyes are either unfamiliar with his policy positions or not conservative I denounce Keyes because he was a carpetbagger who made Obama a star. If Obama didn't rack up 70%+ against him, he'd be just another two bit senator like Carol Mosely Braun or Dick Durbin. Now this jerk may be our next president.
Forget this poor Keyes victim BS too. Anyone who runs for office needs to know the rules of the game. Keyes lost at least twice for Senate in Maryland, three presidential elections, and a senate seat in Illinois. For some reason, people are not buying what he's selling.

All it shows is that McCain’s people are smart enough not to waste their time denying an obviously false rumor, created to assuage Keys feelings after being snubbed by the Constitution party.

I used to like Keyes, but he now sounds nearly as nutty as Obamas minister.
Yeah Keyes was fantastic in the beginning but he has become a parody of himself

Amen roamer_1.
Hell could freeze over and Alan Keyes still wouldn’t support John Judas McCain, much less run with him.

"I think conservatives that denounce Keyes are either unfamiliar with his policy positions or not conservative. It seems to me that all of the arguments against Keyes boil down to ad hominem attacks because no one can beat him on substance, just like all the kids have to make fun of the child genius on the playground..." Yes, Alan is guilty -- like the child genius -- of being exceptionally bright, and worse, refusing to hide his erudition from the more dull among us.
And hes probably also guilty of the "sin" of being impolitic (read:honest)from time to time. (wasn't Reagan impolitic when he called Russia the evil empire?)
The question I have is this:
Are we going to let a few human imperfections that we all share to some extent get in the way of our electing a candidate that stands for constitutional principles, and the American traditions that we all, supposedly, support?
I dont believe we should.

Alan Keyes on short list to become John McCain VP pick
+++++++++++++++++++
Bad match, clumsy match. This wouldn’t work and the move would be seen as pandering by McCain. Keyes has little to offer except oratory skills and they’re too long winded and end up miles away from where one would expect them to end.
