BBBBBBBwaahahahahahaha.

this would just be so cool. A rerun of our 04 senate race with Obama hammering him again.
Fantasy is having Obama vs Keyes for president and then, everyone can see a real debate. Keyes being is usual crazy self and Obama just shaking his head trying not to laugh.
Good times.

Former U.S. Amb. Alan Keyes is sending signals to allies that he is weighing a late bid for the Republican presidential nomination, two sources close to the two-time presidential candidate say.

This week, Keyes's name was registered to participate in the West Virginia Republican convention in 2008 -- that party's delegate selection contests. The entry fee is $5000 and the deadline for payment was last Friday, according to the state party's website.

Sources close to Keyes confirmed that he has begun to talk to some of his longtime advisers about a run. But they said he did not direct RenewAmerica, a grassroots activist group he chairs, to send in the fee.

RenewAmerica has started an active Draft Keyes movement through its political action committee. The PAC paid for a table at the Iowa Republican Party straw poll in Ames last month, and Mary Parker Lewis, Keyes's long-time chief of staff, wrote in an e-mail that she would probably rejoin RenewAmerica soon.

But, she, said, "To date, I would say he has only very provisionally, only in principle, approved their efforts as a moral conservative voter mobilization," Lewis said.

6. Run Alan, Run!

Hell, with Giuliani, Romney, McCain and Thompson providing more comedy than the Marx Brothers, and foils like Tancredo and Brownback playing the part of clowns who hit themselves in the face with pie while saying "Wooga!", we just need the cuh-razy black man to make it a total fiasco.

Comic relief.

11. I knew something was missing! C'mon in Alan`

What state will he run from? How about Puerto Rico? I don't think we've had a president from Puerto Rico.

12. Well thank God Keyes is getting into the race.

There are few better perspective builders out there than Alan Keyes.

Well, ok, there's Paula Abdul.

13. Alan on the road....again!

I think it is absolutely wonderful for Keyes to give the Republics a little color and diversity...
it's blinding over there!:popcorn: :rofl:

[AnotherGreenWorld]

14. This is good news...

Keyes is pretty insane. I would imagine in the debates, all he would do is point out that Rudy is pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and so on and so on, and that Romney used to be those things but conveniently changed when he decided to run for president. A lot of the religious fundamentalists aren't aware of this, and if they knew, they would be pissed off to say the least.

It will help us in the GE.

El Looney Bin?
