Keyes also ran twice for a Maryland Senate Seat - and never got more than 39 percent of the vote.
So he is hardly in a position to offer advice how to win statewide office. That is my larger point - purity is fine and dandy, but Brown did what Keyes could never do - win in a blue state. And Keyes would rather whine than accept that killing the Dem supermajority is a good thing.
I think Keyes is a kook, but where is he offering advice on how to win statewide office? I have a problem with Scott Brown voting to use MA taxpayer funds to pay for abortions. I'll always have a problem with it, and I don't see how it fits into the future of the GOP.
