I ran against Alan Keyes in the 2000 primaries. He is an excellent debater and would make an excellent US Senator.

I briefly watched him debate that year and was quite impressed.

Obama is gonna wreck this fool and it ain't close.

I remember reading that Keyes strongly criticized Hillary for moving to New York to run for the Senate. Wonder what he's saying about this? After all, he couldn't win two Senate races in his own state.

The guy has little to no useful experience and is far, far outside the mainstream - although that's getting to be the norm for the Republican Party.

My impression of Keyes is that he's a 3-issue candidate. Abortion, abortion, and abortion.

This one will be almost as much a stomping as Teddy Kennedy gave to Jack E. Robinson.

I guess I missed that part of the debate;-)

He would make an excellent Senator only if we want to set our watches back to 1789.

He is indeed an excellent debater: thoughtful, articulate, intelligent. All the things you're not. [I am addressing the real GWB; you are far more thoughtful, articulate, and intelligent than he.]

I think Keyes would be an excellent Senator but...the whole carpet bagging thing really leaves bad taste in my mouth. Yes I am a Republican but I also believe in republican (notice the small r) principles and this goes against them. Even though his situation is clearly much different than that of Hillary Clinton, I still dont agree with it. Of course the only reason the Democrats are against it is because they are scared that the golden boy might lose. It will definitely be an interesting race.
