Keyes to the White House?
Sep 17th 2007ScottPolitics & conservatism & elections
Just in time for Constitution Day, Alan Keyes has joined the crowded GOP field of Presidential candidates.
Keyes, a former State Department official under President Reagan, made unsuccessful presidential runs in 1996 and 2000. He also has been a Senate candidate from Maryland, and, in 2004, he suffered a 43-percentage point loss to Democrat Barack Obama in the Senate race in Illinois. Republicans drafted Keyes after primary winner Jack Ryan dropped out amid a scandal.
In an interview with radio talk show host Janet Parshall, Keyes noted the wide-open nature of the GOP race. “There isn’t a standout,” Keyes said. “I’m like a lot of folks, who have just looked at it and been unmoved.”
By reading his issues page, he’s definitely going to appeal to conservative base of the GOP. Hopefully, he’ll get to make it to Wyoming later this month.
