By the way, did I mention that Keyes is going to lose in November?

That has been likely ever since Ryan stepped down, although not yet certain.

Some of us would like to see Keyes win. Others would like to see Obama win.

Into which category do you fall?

I ALWAYS vote straight Republican no matter who the candidates are. So of course I want Keyes to beat Obama. But it's not going to happen.

I'm in the "the-guy-running-against-Obama-in-place-of-Ryan-should-be-the-guy-that-came-in-second-place-in-the-State's-primaries-and-actually-live-in-Illinois-full-time" category.

This simplistic view is getting old in the retelling. There are plenty of us who would pull the lever in favor of Keyes over Obama, who still aren't fans of Keyes himself. Futhermore, since in this race Keyes is a pinch hitter who wasn't vetted by the primary process, I think criticisms about him being chosen to fill Ryan's shoes are especially valid.
