Alan Keyes...?

[chief714]

Just out of curiousity cuz I’m clearly out of the loop.
Is Alan Keyes running for president? If not, why?
The only thing I know much about him is that he destroyed Obama a while back in a debate on abortion and rattled John McCain’s cage during another debate.

Any thoughts? I’ll try and look up more info when I get home, but I just thought I’d ask.

I hope he does – for comic relief.

The only thing I know much about him is that he destroyed Obama a while back in a debate on abortion and rattled John McCain’s cage during another debate.

I’ve known of him for about twenty years. He came to IL and the head of the IL GOP (who did not favor him as a nominee) called his views ‘idiotic’. Keyes showed himself to be a not-very clued in idealogue in the debates and certainly never won one against the president. He was badly beaten in the election. Does anyone want to speculate on why he was chosen by IL Republican leaders to run against Obama?

Sure, Keyes should enter the race. After all, he was previously arrested trying to insert himself in a presidential debate. He makes things more interesting.

I think he won one primary once but has never won any of the numerous races he has entered nationwide, in Maryland or in Illinois.

Alan Keyes has never won a single election, not even a primary. His government career has depended upon being appointed to office.

In 2008, He tried to find a political party which would anoint him as a presidential candidate, but without requiring that he contest for the nomination. He was unsuccessful in that search.

I don’t think Keyes has the inner fire to be a politician. He just wants the accolades.
