An excellent post.
You are welcome to vote for Keyes. As for me, I will stick with the lady in red, with her 5th kid on her hip! She has experience, message, and charisma. Her identity is not questioned, but challenged every day by such people who define themselves to a higher standard than God expects, Himself.
Sarah Palin may be our leader in 2012. I'm putting money into that run! At the least, she is carrying a conservative, Christian message, packaged with a mother's determination! She is making a difference I don't see from your rigid-principled position. The Pharissees would like you.
