NOW 2008 Gets Interesting!

Well, he makes Brownback, Tancredo, and Hunter look sane.

 

Whither LaRouche?

 

YEAH BABY!!! My boy gets back in the mix! Alan Keyes entering the mix just made my decision a heck of a lot easier!

 

Ron Paul's a classier act than anyone else in this particular zip code, and his chances are less than zero. Enjoy yourselves, but the fringe of the fringe isn't going to matter in either competition, unless the GOP is sufficiently deranged to actually try one of these guys in the VP slot -- and they'll only do that if they're convinced the top of the Dem ticket (whomever that may be) is unbeatable. Long way to go.

 

Hey I agree about Paul. I'm just a personal fan of Keyes, although I hate his strong views against the gay community, you know where he stands on everything. He will not talk around an issue. That's how they all should be!

 

Has he offered Tim Hardaway the job as his running mate yet?

 

Wish I could figure out who would do the same for you, Fen.

 

Keyes is a professional candidate. That's how he makes his living. He's gotten in trouble with the FEC in the past for paying himself with campaign contributions. That's why he went to Illinois to run against Obama, for the money. No surprise he's running again, even though he's got zero chance of winning the nomination (he's got zero chance of getting 10% of the vote in Iowa or New Hampshire) and there are other candidates making a hard pitch at the religious conservatives who are his base. He'll probably run in 2012 and 2016, as long as people keep writing checks.

 

Bill, that was cogent and well argued.

Clearly, you're new to our political threads.

 

Ha ha. That was good.

FYI: When I was traveling in NW Illinois on the way to Minnesota for a Twins playoff game back in 2004, almost every yard sign was for Keyes. I didn't see many Obama signs at all. Two years later, in downstate Illinois the signs were almost all for Judy Topinka and I could count Blago's signs on both hands.

Chicago and its suburbs may be as blue as it gets in Illinois. I'd wager the rest of the state is pretty red. So Keyes might have a shot in other red areas. Not much of one, but a shot.

 

Vote Keyes: The Harold Stassen for the 21st Century.

 

I have to admit. He has the ability to frame an argument within rhetoric so handsome that you nearly -- NEARLY -- forget that thew argument itself is batshit crazee.
