Yes, Keyes will get a ton of free media time from the right-wing media, but he needs to poll within 20 points before Obama even needs to acknowledge him.

1. I found a good quote over at BartCop today by Mary Mitchell
the link was dead, though.

"I have one thing to say to those who think Alan Keyes' candidacy is a good thing:
In the words of Malcolm X, you are being "hoodwinked, bamboozled and led astray."
The reality is, GOP state central committee members pulled a frat-boy stunt designed
to split the black vote, and to stop Republicans from crossing the line to vote for Obama.
As the old folks would say, in this race, Keyes would be merely carrying white folks' water."

2. Don't think he'll ever do it
Get within 20 points that is.

He will get what he wants though which is lots of free publicity.
