Will he reside in Illinois after the election? If he makes that promise, I'll campaign for the guy!!!! If not, he's the political opportunist so many have called him.
Personally, I wish he would. IMO, the GOP ought to get every half way competent politician it owns out of the entire Northeast (except NH), NY, NJ and Maryland and let them go somewhere where they can do some good.
In fact, in a perfect world, I'd prefer all the wacko leftist move there and the pacific coast, and the people with their heads on straight move to the "red states" and we go our separate ways.
A pipe dream to be sure.
but for my part, I'd LOVE to see Keyes get out of Maryland. Committing to Illinois would be a start...but just crossing over into Virgina (if he feels he MUST be close to DC for some reason) would be a better than going back to one of the provinces of the People's Republic.
