Kinda like Hillary in New York, less Ditka?

I don’t see any real difference, other than the R after his name.

I know, I know, that isn’t a popular viewpoint here at FR with some.

I will support Alan Keyes for any political position he runs for. He has more diginity than any of the others that ran for the office. He knows the constitution, and he loves his country.

Okay, let me take this a little slower. The original election was supposed to be between Jack Ryan and Barrack Obama. The initial polls actually had Ryan leading. Then the LA Times got a court injunction to be able to lift the sealing of Ryan's divorce. Apparently Ryan was a kinky type of guy and it was in the divorce papers. Because of this, Ryan was forced out of the race by public opinion.

The Illinois state republican party had to select someone to run against Barry. They originally asked Mike Ditka but he turned them down. No republican politician in the state was interested because it was a losing proposition. It was too close to the election (like less than 3 months) and people thought they could not mount an effective campaign. In desperation, the Illinois state republican party asked Alan Keyes to run and he accepted their offer. It was either he run or Barry run unopposed for the open Senate seat.

Now if you don't see a difference in that and Hillary cherry picking the Senate seat she ran for, then I have to seriously question your powers of understanding.

wow. we have a hardcore socialist in the WH who will use the power of government to entrench socialism and destroy everything you say you believe in and your complaining that Alan Keyes moved to Illinois to run for Senate way back when

like moving deckchairs on the Titanic my friend

Probably because it's wildly inaccurate.
