I heard a Keyes supporter say on the radio today "Keyes will be a

great candidate because he will split the black vote!" That makes him a "great candidate"??

1. Yep he'll split it.

He'll take about 5% and Obama will take the rest, and the white vote.

2. If you call Obama getting the Lion's Share.."splitting" then

he's good to go!

3. I heard a Republican say Keyes is a joke.

I also heard her say that she will vote Obama simply because Keyes was asked to run because he's black-and she hates that. She also had some choice comments about Keyes being a carpetbagger--but we already KNEW that was an issue...

On a happier note, I was in Springfield today and I was seeing a LOT of Obama stickers on cars. I did see a few Kerry stickers--but Obama was far better represented...:bounce:

4. "Quick, where can we find a black Republican to run against Obama?!"

Is what the Illinois GOP must have been thinking. They had to ship someone in from out of state. How very pathetic.

6. That "audition" the GOP had must have seemed like the bizzarro world

Imagine it.

For once, the Republican party had a candidate search where they were looking for someone black or possibly from another minority group, and were turning away white people.

And they couldn't even find someone from IL!
