Alan Keyes

[Stranger in a strange land]

What is Alan Keyes up to this cycle? I heard he was running and that's about the last I heard. I've seen him in a few debates but he doesn't seem to register in the polls at all and never gets any media coverage, even less than other vanity candidates like Hunter, Gravel, and Kucinich. Has he even been doing any campaigning or fundraising?

He didn't appear to qualify for the ballot in Iowa, which I found interesting (he participated in the debates in Iowa...)

[bkey]

He never gets enough support to be on the ballots. At least he wasnt in Iowa or Wyoming.

I always figured that Alan Keyes was Ronald Reagan's inside personal joke when he made Keyes the US ambasador to the UN from 1981-1985...

He appears to be on the ballot in NH, FL, AL, CA, CT, GA, IL, NY, OK, UT, MO, and AZ of the Feb. 5 and earlier primaries.

NH is the only place he'll be on the ballot in January.

I really dont know:I hear he has had only 1 campaign event and I havent seen him in 1 debate...

[Stranger in a strange land]

I hear he has had only 1 campaign event

yeah that's about what I figured. Which begs the question: why is he even bothering?

Alan Keyes actually had a job? This is news to me.

There were no ballots in Iowa or Wyoming.

Because he's an exhibitionist.

I think Allan Keyes really has been working on his presidential campaign. He is running because no other candidate seems to really put forward the same philosophy of government--that effective governing can only be fully acheived by a moral government. Regardless of whether he seems to have a realistic chance, you have to admire the man's persistence and constancy of message (even with hostile audiences). I think he has a deeper understanding of government philosophy than the other candidates and would do well as a vice-presidential candidate.

well it can't be denied that Alan Keyes is standing up for what he believes in...however misguided I may regard those beliefs, he has not waivered and is consistent.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

hahahahahaha!!!

Just like he did great as a Senate candidate in IL, right?

Thanks for the input, Alan.
