He also told the Keyes-bashers to take their Obama support to DU.
I haven't heard any of Keye's critics support Obama here. If there are any they are certainly a small minority of trolls.
You can't seem to accept the fact that Keye's unwillingness or inability to be a Republican team player, including his attacks on President Bush have made him unpopular among many genuine conservatives.
Being realistic about Keyes political chances is not 'bashing', nor is it supporting Obama.
The republic will not fall if Keyes fails.
