Alan Keyes will never by the current power brokers at the RNC be allowed any office with their support. The RNC is hell bent on seeing to it that only moderates occupy every vacant office. His best shot is as an Independent. BTW I laugh at the he never held office nonsense. That is not a Constitutional requirement. Even the DEM's were smart enough to realize that. Can we all say Senator Hillary?
Now you are just whining.
I know it makes you feel better to keep repeating that, but it's just not so. The reason Alan Keyes has never been elected to a public office is that he turns so many people off, not just because he's holier-than-thou and talks down to people, but because he is plain annoying.
In case you didn't notice, Hitlery was the defacto president, and ran for a Senate seat. She has a following ( why , I'll NEVER understand, but she had / has one ) and, as usual, that election was filled with fruad.
OTOH, Keyes consistantly and constantly manages to lose many people, who once thought that he was worthy of a vote. Me for one. He is condescending, pontificates, instead of orates, and has far worse facial mannerisms , than President Bush's " smirk " ; which I am beginning to believe is a tic , from pressure or habit.
Keyes pulled the " race " / " victim " card once, and I gave him a pass on it. He pulled it again, and I now place him in the mirror image corner of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
