I find this race, and this thread, frankly, to be a very interesting case study on the state of the Republican Party, and of the so-called conservative movement.

Barak Obama 70%, Alan Keyes 27%.

Says everything that needs to be said about what Keyes' opinion is worth on this subject. Alan Keyes hasn't won an election in his life - he never topped 40 percent in his two Maryland senate runs, either.

Perhaps the numbers would have been better if Republicans had treated Alan during that race like they now treat their new sweetheart: pro-abortion, socialized-medicine-crafting, Scott Brown.

Instead, they gave Keyes pretty much the same treatment that is being demonstrated on this thread.

While the Democrats were giving Barack Obama a prime speaking slot at their convention that year, touting him as their “rising star,” the Republicans were treating Alan Keyes like a leper. Their platform throughout the Bush years was instead filled with RINOs like Giuliani and Powell and Rice. Outspoken conservatives were not welcome there.
