ME: "Had Keyes not stayed in to fight all the way to the adoption of the party platform...

YOU: "Ooops.......I hope your other facts are more accurate than that one!"...

YOU: "The platform was all settled BEFORE the convention -- it was adopted AT the convention, the end of July".....

Hmmmmmm.....accuracy? Hello! Up and until the platform is adopted, it is subject to change....hence, I used the words "adoption of the party platform"!! It only gets adopted at the convention by the conventioneers. And I still maintain that had Keyes gotten out, the dirty work of changing the platform would have included making it a GOP practice to condone the murder of the unborn! Just ask folks like Christie Todd Whitman, Tom Ridge, Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, Anne Stone, etc....Anne's group fought like hell to get it removed.

YOU: "So what's your excuse for Keyes not coming out for Bush until the end of October NOW?"...NO EXCUSE IS NECESSARY!!! Besides, see my comments to PKM regarding this....

So you admit that Keyes should have gotten out AFTER the convention since he was only staying in to influence the platform? So he should have gotten out the end of July?

If not, why did he stay so long. What was he trying to influence from July to November?
