Bulls$it.

This isn't The Exorcist OK, and quit insulting my intelligence with that dribble. We either have principles, or we do not.

You go on and justify acting in a manner that you consider unprincipled in others however you want to justify it, but all you have done is act exactly the same as the person that you're calling "evil"...which makes you equally evil.

Old adages have survived the test of time for a reason, that reason usually being that they are right.

Two wrongs do not make a right.

It's pretty dang sad that we don't know if he would.

There's no reason to think he won't; he doesn't have hissy fits and do things like.....oh, stay in the primaries way after it's obvious he can't win. Stuff like that.

"When's the last time he had a real job, I wonder?"

He was on MSNBC for half a year in 2002, and has been doing speaking engagements at $15000 a pop since then.

He'll get the far right vote and probably those who voted for him for president

I think Keyes could get the white Conservative vote which might be found in rural Illinois, he could get the black Conservative vote --- many blacks are not pro-abortion. Keyes is an American black and Obama is not. Obama is American on his mother's side which was white so I don't see how the black vote automatically goes to Obama.

Keyes doesn't stand a chance. Obama is the media's favorite puppet.

Unfortunately, you are right. The People's Republic of Chicagoland will prevent Keyes from winning. If we took out Chicago, he'd probably win in a landslide. But it would be nice to see the media's favorite son Obama (which sounds waaaaay too much like Osama) defeated.

"Keyes doesn't have a chance against Obama."

Keyes doesn't stand a chance against a man who says marijuana use is understandable? I disagree.

Keyes may not win, but it'll be nice to see him carve up Obama in debates and bring him down a notch.

I'm not so sure there will be debates. I don't see what incentive Obama would have to accept a debate challenge, given his likely huge lead, and given Keyes's formidable debating reputation.

Obama might agree to a couple of very tightly formatted debates, with no direct candidate-to-candidate exchanges -- close to alternating press conferences, really -- just enough so that charges of ducking debates won't stick.

My early prediction: Obama 62, Keyes 38. Which, come to think of it, would be Keyes's best showing ever, wouldn't it?

Using God as the standard Alan Keyes has more of a right to represent Illinois than Obama does.

Vote for God! :)

Dubya delegates his hissy fits to lower echelon peons.
They're thin-skinned about everything.

And you're right, no matter what happens, we'll be seeing Obama in politics for the next 30 or so years.

Can he hold his own in a debate with Keyes? I've never heard Obama speak. What would happen if Keyes rips him apart in a debate?
