1. how we can tie alan keyes in with bush and the gang to show....
that this is how the republicans really are, but they have to find a black man to show the true face because the white people will not believe a white republican could be this.............evil...even though keyes is merely spouting the republican PLATFORM????

4. TERRIBLE campaign.
Because I've only had the privilege of hearing random bits about his campaign here and there, can anyone give a complete summary rundown on all of Keyes' mistakes..?

9. LOL. it's hard to believe that Keyes is legally competent, isn't it?
I am still in disbelief that the repukes resorted to him.

11. yeah seriously
they could've found some Republican janitor in Peoria, put his name on the ballot, not ran any campaign at all, and still probably got around 35% at least.

Instead they dig up a guy who runs BELOW the party base. Now that's not strong on logic!

8. maybe his goal is...
to get in the single digits! For a major party candidate to get single digits would be quite a feat! or maybe he's trying to finish behind the Libertarian and be able to brag that not only has he lost Senate races in TWO states, but that he came in third place in one!

12. It's a pretty bold statement
But it makes you wonder when a previously unknown candidate running for an open Senate seat is so far ahead that he can start campaigning in other states (Obama was in PA last week).

Nevertheless, still got to give to to Asscroft in 2000.
