Less than two weeks out from losing yet another presidential race, Alan Keyes has started a fresh campaign against President-Elect Barack Obama – in the courtroom.
Alan Keyes and other members of the American Independent Party have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento to stop the state from giving its electoral votes to Obama until the former Illinois Senator can produce a birth certificate showing that he is indeed a natural-born citizen of the United States, according to party.
Keyes, who is from Maryland, ran against Obama as a Republican for the U.S. Senate seat in Illinois in 2004. Obama won that election to serve his first and only term in the U.S. Senate. The Obama campaign countered similar accusations early in 2008 by posting Obama's certification of live birth, and saying: "Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America."

“Ridiculous statement, and I’m not even a Keyes fan.”
You’re entitled to your opinion, however that doesn’t change the fact that our side has actively sought it’s “magic Negro” for a very long time. I sat in a small room in Washington and watched Maureen Reagan introduce Alan Keyes, a favorite of hers at the time, and she gushed over him. We were all impressed. Since then he has moved from one failure to the next and never gained any traction. He does, though, seem to go for the limelight.
Maybe not, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
