I think Keyes is a kook, but where is he offering advice on how to win statewide office?

He is decrying how Brown won. From someone who never has.

Yeah, but you got to understand what these threads are really about.

They're about self-important people getting to pretend that they're the Real True Conservatives, while everyone else out there - you know, the people who realise that red-meat candidates can't win in every last district in the country - get to be looked down upon as dirty, stinking RINOs who just aren't pure enough for them.

Along with it, of course, comes a lot of dishonest twisting of the candidate in question's stated positions, a lot of chest-thumping and misrepresentation of what other FReepers have said, and a whole boatload of pretentiousness.

They're an opportunity for the Keyes people (or the Ron Paul people, or the Pat Buchanan people, or the Batboy people, or whatever) to prove their moral superiority to all the people who actually believe that winning elections, rather than whining like babies, is the way to move forward the conservative agenda over the long haul.

I don’t see where he is decrying how Brown won. I think he’s decrying the fact that Scott Brown is a social liberal. I understand the enthusiasm for Brown, but my excitement has much more to do with Barack Obama losing than it does Scott Brown winning.
