| Description | No More Keyes Bashing
In the wake of Alan Keyes' decision to run for U.S. Senate at the behest of the Illinois GOP, a cacophony of complaint exploded forth from "those who know better." Three primary themes emerged. First, Alan Keyes is not from Illinois, so his run for office in that state violates the principles of federalism. Second, Keyes has no chance of beating Barack Obama, particularly after the Democratic nominee's star turn at the otherwise low luster party convention in Boston. Third, Keyes is suffering from an overload of conviction. One critic, Mike Murphy, has suggested Keyes is not a rational human being.
I've already written twice on why Keyes' run is a good idea, but the subject deserves another visit. It's time to put the criticisms of the Keyes' campaign to bed so the former ambassador can campaign hard without having constantly to fend of attacks from his natural allies. |
