There you go again, trying to insinuate that you alone are the conservatives on this site; this is SOP for the Keyes people.
Yours is one of the longest running vendettas I've ever observed.
If you call not forgetting things that Alan Keyes have said that have hurt this party and our president a "vendetta," I guess you're right.
The day you've done one percent as much for this President and for this party maybe you'll start to have some small measure of credibility on this point.
But even then you won't be able to take away the great things that Alan has done for this republic in the last decade.
If the party's forgotten it, and invited Keyes to run, then why can't you?
Keyes connects with informed political junkies, with the evangelicals, and the intellectually sophisticated voter, but that's not a majority of voters, not enough for a victory. It's only partly Keyes fault; after all it's "we the people" that decide who gets elected.
"But it will be a good race even if Keyes loses because yada, yada, yada..."
Yeah...it will be fun to watch, and I honestly hope that he wins so I'll keep track of it, and at whatever level I can, I'll support him over Obama.
By the way, did you notice that he's already become a single name celebrity?
Elvis, Charo, Madonna, Elmo, Obama...
I'll watch it every night on every network, national prime time coverage. The native son beating the outsider; an outsider brought in from the outside by the GOP to run the lives of the good citizens of Illinois.
And the camera loves this guy.
The DNC will use this race to elevate Obama into a run at the White House as Hillary's VP.
I would have almost rather that the GOP had thrown a local businessman in the race to make it less news worthy.
It's politics, so if you can't avoid losing, you must avoid news coverage.
