Yes, that's it. After failing as a radio talk show host, a presidential candidate and a tv host, what the people really need is MORE Alan Keyes. Eventually, with more, they'll accept him (like we accept bees after about 1000 stings)

I watched Dr. Keyes' TV show, and I'd say it was over the heads of many. So is that a problem with the show, or the audience? The people interested in intellectually honest serious debate these days seem few and far between. But, Keyes did pretty well IMHO in 2000 for a rather unknown candidate with considerably less publicity and airtime than the other Republican candidates. In the primaries Keyes was third behind Bush and McCain pretty consistently, ahead of Forbes and Bauer who were given much more serious attention as viable candidates. Out of roughly 20 million Republican primary votes cast nationwide, Keyes garnered over a million of them. Additionally, he only spent $11 million, compared to Forbes $48 million and McCain's $45 million (although granted McCain was in it longer).
