Wow.

I was early a supporter of Alan Keyes. It was that support that likely cost me any kind of endorsement from the Summit County Republican Party in my 2000 campaign for Congress; I told the committee I favored Keyes over Bush.

Keyes' loss to Barrack Obama in the 2004 Senate race in Illinois appeared to me to have been the result of a half-hearted race; in retrospect, he probably was also a victim of Party shortsightedness. It was that opinion -- a perceived lack of stamina on his part -- that made me favor Huckabee in the place of Keyes.

Nevertheless, there is no other candidate out there at this time who has been as principled and morally consistent as Alan Keyes. With that in mind, I recommend the following :

2-party system: No choice but evil


It is a lengthy read. Too bad for America : he is right.

What would America do if a viable write-in candidate appeared in the next 30 days, in time to be certified for the ballot in a significant number of states? Could grassroots America launch a second American Revolution in 30 days? Could we draft Ken Blackwell? Or, could Blackwell be persuaded to be a running mate for Keyes?

Hmm...???
