So, after pushing Ryan out of the Illinois Senate race, getting turned down by Mike Ditka of all people and quietly pretending second place nominee Jack Oberweis doesn't exist as he jumps up and down and waves his arms in the air, the Illinois GOP is courting Alan Keyes to run for the the Senate seat. Keyes, who is black, has had several failed political runs for office, both presidental and in his native (and current) state of Maryland.

Yeah, Maryland.

"But wait!" crows the Republican Greek chorus, "Hillary Clinton was from Illinois and she ran for (and won) the Senate seat in New York!" True, that. And it's a pity that, in 2000 during Clinton's run, Keyes remarked:
"I deeply resent the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton's willingness to go into a state she doesn't even live in and pretend to represent people there. So I certainly wouldn't imitate it."

National GOP leaders think Keyes is just in it for the publicity and to revive his book sales and right wing radio talkshow. Keyes is demanding full funding for his race and the blessing of GOP heads both in Illinois and nationally. And he says he'll give his answer on Sunday.

I love this race.

Keys is a loon. I doubt this will turn in to much, other than a few funny quotes and such.

Keys is a nutbag.

This is just so they can say they ran a black guy when he looses to Obama.

The Tribune ran a column with the author (Michael Zorn) saying he can't wait for Keyes to rally against Affirmative Action when it's obvious he's the token black guy Republican candidate Smiley: lol

This only reminds me of how pissed off I am about Hellbitch Clinton. I wouldn't mind if she were just my neighbor, but she has no right trying to represent me!

(no I wasn't the one who ran over their dog)

Huh?

Why, because she moved to NY from Arkansa?

Actually, unlike President Bush, she won the election. So really she does have every right to represent you. Unless you don't agree with your state's constitution.

This doesn't have anything to do with Bush or being elected. it has to do with representing a state that you never even lived in until that point. I, for example, having lived in New York my entire life, would have no right or reason to represent, say, Utah.

She won the election, therefor, she has the right. You may not like it, but thats how it works.

That's mindbogglingly stupid.

Your other senator's from Arizona for fuc[b][/b]k sake.

Ancient Chinese secret. I had to puzzle it out on my own, allthough I never bothered before I had premium thinking foolishly that it was tied to that.

Ok, granted I am mindbogglingly ignorant, especially when it comes to politics, but then why is this such a big deal?

It wasn't just an issue of where they might have been born and raised, it's an issue of if they had ever even lived there. How long had the Clintons been in New York when Hillary was elected late in '00?

[q]Your other senator's from Arizona for **** sake.[/q]

Which one? I looked up the districts I've lived in the past six years; they're all from New York. Maybe www.senate.state.ny.us is wrong...

A year or two, I think.

Your other senator right now is from Arizona.

He was checking on NYS Senators from different districts. Apparently he didn't know each state only has 2 US Senators, NY's being Hillary and whoever from Arizona (too lazy to actually look that up). He was just a little confused.

Ok, ok, I concede that I have no idea what I'm talking about. I don't know the difference between State Senators and US Senators, except that US Senators apparently have nothing to do with the states they represent. I was getting mightily confused; I had always thought there were 2 Senators from each state and a relative number of Representatives.

I don't understand politics, I don't care about politics (other than the silly flamewars here) which is why I don't vote. Since I don't vote, I shouldn't ***** about who's representing me.

Consider me smacked down.

Two senators for every state and on Rep per 250,000 people or so.

Which leads to neat things like one persons vote in Vermont being worth twice as much as one person's vote in New York for the Presidential elections.

Well, he's offically running now. On the radio this morning he responded to the obvious question of "Why are you running after denouncing Clinton's run and saying you'd never do that?" with something like "How can you say that? Obama has national recognition.. he's mobilized the base all over the nation. Why can't I have the same advantage?"

WTF does that have to do with asking why you're running for office in Illinois?

A good number of black Republicans calling in as well to express their disgust that the Illinois GOP so blantantly tried to "keep" their votes by giving them a black Republican candidate to vote for.

The Illinois GOP is the best thing to ever happen to the Democratic party Smiley: smile
