The difference is that Keyes has never done anything.
I voted for him once and sent him money, but when he started preaching black reparations, that was the end.
On the other hand Mitt has done a lot and when he was governor he was as far left on social issues as you can go and still be considered a republican, and he had a love of big-government boondoggles. No thanks. I’ll take a conservative who has conservative deeds to back it up.
