Real Race in Illinois After all?

It appears my favorite politician Alan Keyes may be taking on Mr. Obama for Illinois Senate. Keyes is interesting because though he is ultra conservative, his passion and sincerity often makes converts. I think he will probably lose in liberal Illinois, but I know if he runs, this will be the most dynamic, real, and interesting U.S. Senate race in the country.

BIO: Keyes has a PhD in government from Harvard University and was one of the U.S. representatives to the United Nations during the Ronald Reagan administration. In the 1990s he became known as an outspoken champion for conservative causes via his radio talk program, The Alan Keyes Show. A Republican, Keyes ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in Maryland in 1988 and 1992 and for U.S. president in 1996 and 2000.
