I agree with Keyes on most issues and would support him in a race against any Democrat. His style is a bit over board for my personal tastes.

As far him not being president, it's plain hard for anyone to be elected having only held an ambassadorship. Not since James Buchanan was elected in 1856, has someone whose only political experience was as an ambassador been elected president of the United States. Remember how much heat George Bush took for being "unexperience" by the media - and Bush was a governor of Texas.

Keyes has the advantage of being unquestionably intelligent. I haven't been able to follow much of his political moves, but I reckon his capability to hold office hasn't been questioned much.
