Sorry. I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but sometimes we have to face the truth.

Keyes doesn't have a chance against Obama.

You don't know what you're talking about.

I seriously doubt you've looked at the numbers.

You mean as opposed to any of the other candidates the Illinois GOP was considering? Like the undercover demo-rat Barthwell???

Bullcr@p. Defeatism is your game. There's no way you would ever pull the lever for Keyes. He's too much of a 'true believer' and an anti-lavender.

> Keyes doesn't have a chance against Obama.

How does IL politics work? If it's like every other state I've studied, there's one big liberal metro area and then the rest of the state.

Obama will write off everything outside of Chicago. Keys will charge into Chicago and take the fight to him on his turf.

Will the "rest of the state" turn out to vote for him?

Will he peel enough votes outta Chicagoland to help?

This "him getting stomped" seems perhaps a bit premature...

Just like Jesse Ventura didn't have a chance in Minnesota. Besides, there are many things to be gained by a very good run by an excellent candidate: building the base, preparing for the next race, supporting other races, keeping the other guy from having a slama obama thank you ma'ama free ride, etc. If Keyes accepts, keep updated; there are things to learn.

"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.
