Reply #11: Keyes could easily become the final nail in the GOP coffin

[Walt Starr]

It is imperative for Obama's future that Keyes get less than 38.2% of the vote. 38.2% of the vote is what Keyes took against Paul Sarbanes in his bid to oust Sarbanes from the Maryland U.S. Senate seat in 1988.

If we play our cards right, Keyes will get less than 29% of the vote. 29% of the vote is what Keyes took in his failed bid to oust Barbara Mikulski from the other Maryland U.S. Senate seat in 1992.

If everything goes perfect, Keyes will come in third behind the Libertarian candidate, Jerry Kohn. I've been pointing Illinois pro-life Republicans who are very upset at a carpetbagger candidate to Jerry Kohn's web site. Unlike many Libertarians, Kohn is pro-life. This candidate has been received with positive reactions from the Republicans I've pointed his way.

A third place finish for a high profile nationally known carpetbagger would decimate the Illinois Republican Party, possibly irreparably. The assholes in the Republican SCC don't realize that a Keyes candidacy was the best possible thing they ever could do for the Democratic Party in Illinois and may well seal the future for a Barack Obama presidency.

Thank goodness we have foolish dunces in charge of the Illinois Democratic Party. The asinine crap spewed by Keyes will damage Bush as well as he will be forced to endorse the vile man.
