As much as I liked Alan Keyes, he really should’ve moved to a state he could win a Senate race in (Maryland and Illinois were not it) and proved his bonafides there to show he was ready for the Presidency (a la Ted Cruz).
Unfortunately, the seeds of our current predicament were planted a long time ago, even before the ‘60s and ‘70s.
True about Keyes residence. But then again at least he tried and had many years more foreign policy experience than Obama. Chicago and suburbs which dictate Illinois politics is a no win situation for anything but what they have now. If we don’t watch it here Memphis and Nashville will have us in the same boat on a state level also. Difference is out state lawmakers have to come home sometime. LOL.
