Alan Keyes=Carpetbagger?

A Maryland resident running for an Illinois Senate seat?

Published on August 5, 2004 By thatoneguyinslc In Democrat

Alan Keyes is considering running against Barack Obama for Senate in Illinois. This is somewhat reminiscant of Hillary's Senate run. Isn't a little late in the game for this? I can understand it if he actually moved there months ago. Does this show how worried the GOP is of Obama getting in the Senate? (especially after his speech at the convention)

Keyes still lives in MD.

What i think is kinda funny is he's their back up choice after Mike Ditka said no, because he couldn't tackle another senator if he got mad at them.
(he actually said this, but he was kidding...i just thought it was funny!)

Carpetbagger and hypocrite?

"I deeply resent the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton's willingness go into a state she doesn't even live in and pretend to represent people there, so I certainly wouldn't imitate it."
--Alan Keyes, March 2000

We'll see if he goes through with it.
