Noooo....it's because the Republican Party cared so little for the conservative base, they thumbed their noses & annointed McCain as the candidate.

I'm not sitting on my hands....I'm voting for Keyes.

Actually, it was because WE did not have a conservative candidate WE all rallied around.

McCain didn't win because of some annointing, he won because he was more popular than the other 4 or 5 candidates.

Voting for Keyes seems pointless, the man is a great orator (doesn't need a teleprompter), and likely has lots of fine positions. Unfortunately he has never had any experience, no elected office, and simply cannot win. This kind of thinking is what gave us Bill Clinton, and if enough people do it will give us Obama.

You will be one of a vanishingly small minority. From mid-January on, Ambassador Keyes campaigned only in Texas, yet he rceived only 0.62% of the vote from Texans. His best showing was in North Carolina with 2.7%, but by that time everyone in the race but McCain and Ron Paul had dropped out. In fact, he finished behind "no preference" and almost 10 points behind a guy (Huckabee) who had been out of the race for two months.

But, let's try a thought experiment. Let's say that many people follow your lead, and Ambassador Keyes gets 15% of the popular vote. If that happened...

Who would take office on January 20, 2009?

Who will be Commander-in-Chief from January 20, 2009 until at least January 20, 2013?

Who will appoint judges to the federal bench and justices to the Supreme Court of the United States for four years?

I look forward to your answer.
