[Non-Sequitur]

Anybody can predict the winner of the football game on Monday morning. Had the public known that Obama was not eligible then why would they vote for him. Isn’t that what Keyes is saying?

What Keyes would have us believe is that had Obama not been qualified to run for president then Keyes might have won. That is a stretch by anyone's imagination.

What Keyes would have us believe is that had Obama not been qualified to run for president then Keyes might have won.

Or Keyes might have sucked enough votes from Her Thighness to have McStain win. Likely he would have. Winning is generally not the object for a third party candidate. Usually it's just making a point, but not always.

H. Ross Perot's object was to defeat Bush, not win the election. He succeeded. Keyes may similarly have wanted to deny the election to the Democrats, which he might have done if Senator Clinton had been their standard bearer.
