All Republicans should be 'Keyes supporters'. You supporting the alternative?
Ok, if Trotsky claimed to be a Repbulican we should just shutup and support him?
No way. I support Keyes insomuch as it would be 1 more Republican senator to count towards a majority, but I'm afraid that support ends there. Or in simpler words, if I lived in IL, since he has the nomination, I'd be voting for Keyes over Obama.
However, that's not to say that I give Keyes enough credit that I believe he could honestly survive a primary these days and be a legitimate candidate for office, and that goes for his home state as well as IL.
So yeah, I'd vote for ABO (anyone but Obama) but that doesn't mean I think Keyes was a wise choice to run in IL...but that's what happen when the primary system is circumvented, even when it's by necessity as in this case.
