| Description | Jack Ryan's departure from the Illinois U.S. Senate race has not deterred the College Republicans — who are now rallying behind former presidential candidate and conservative talk show host Alan Keyes — nor has it changed the College Democrats' faith in Barack Obama's ability to win the election.
According to Garrett Leek, president of the College Republicans and sophomore in LAS, Keyes' stance on major issues is part of the reason the College Republicans are committed to supporting his campaign.
In a phone interview, Keyes said he offers Illinois voters "leadership, experience, clarity on moral issues, a willingness to defend the tradition of family, a willingness to defend the innocent life in the womb and a willingness to defend Second Amendment rights."
"I'm willing to attempt to bite the bullet on difficult decisions," Keyes said.
He also said he is willing to speak out on reparations, income tax and foreign policy issues.
Leek hopes Keyes' ideas will resound with University students. |
