As much as I like Keyes, as a candidate he's brought up: (1) his support of his version of reparations (in contradiction of his earlier statements); (2) his desire to get rid of the direct election of U.S. Senators.
This isn't mainstream stuff and Keyes is making it easy for the Dems (and the press) to paint him as a wacko. Alan needs to get a grip and only talk about things that can win him the election.
Actually, Keyes doidn't bring this up. The Illinois press printed an article based on comments Keyes made about 5 years ago.
