CHICAGO U-S House Speaker Dennis Hastert today offered a lukewarm endorsement of Alan Keyes, who has been asked by Illinois Republicans to become their new candidate for U-S Senate.

Hastert questioned whether Keyes' ultraconservative views would play well in Illinois.

He told W-B-B-M that he would support whomever the party chose to go up against Democratic powerhouse Barack Obama (ber-AHK' oh-BAH'-muh). But Hastert said his focus would be on helping Republicans win House seats in other states.

Former Governor Jim Thompson also warned that Republicans who lean too far to the right in Illinois tend to lose.



This day has been too much fun. Wish you were here.

Cheers!
