Back about 1998 I advised that if Keyes would start at a reasonable level, like a congressional seat in a safe district with a retiring pubbie incumbent, he would really be able to accomplish something. Instead he tried to go from step 1 to step 67 in one giant leap. If Keyes had run for a seat in the House six or eight years ago, where might he be today?
Don't try to bring rational thought into this feeding frenzy.
