I went to the Alan Keyes for Senate rally. Ask me anything!

[chiburb]

[Richardo]

Was it as funny as you thought it would be?

[chiburb]

4. They looked like they were from the Adams Family...

Not freeperish like the "Moran" guy, but more like the weird uncle you keep locked in the attic.

[gasperc]

1. how bad did it suck?

[chiburb]

7. Not bad, more sad than bad.

And blame NSMA for me going... it was her idea.

2. How could he possibly run in Illinois when he lives in Maryland?

There isn't enough time to change his residence is there?

[chiburb]

5. Has to be here 30 days before the election.

Plenty of time.

[trotsky]

3. Did you all fit comfortably in that phone booth?

n/t

[chiburb]

6. I counted 31 (!!!) delusional souls...

An equal number of reporters and camera crews, smattering of "other" supporters.

[larryepke]

8. Where was it?

In Chicago? (Be specific.)

[chiburb]

10. Union League Club on Jackson just south of Clark.

Make that EAST of Clark.

[larryepke]

12. Oh, a place for the LITTLE people!

:evilgrin:

[ProfessorGAC]

13. Darn! I Like That Place

Now, i can never go there again.
The Professor

[chiburb]

17. That's where they repukes have been holding their

2 day "Operation Desperation". Not a bad place, a little stuffy for me.

[russian33]

9. So it was like the Democratic convention, but not really?

[chiburb]

11. Yeah. JUST like it!

:eyes:

[iconoclastic cat]

14. Was Keyes there, or was it just a bunch of supporters?

What was said to the audience? I love anecdotes, so let 'er rip.

[chiburb]

15. He may have been inside, or he hadn't arrived yet.

I was there from 1:25-1:40 for a scheduled 1:30 rally.

[iconoclastic cat]

18. What did they say?

[chiburb]

19. This was all outside...

No audience per se, just his folks on the left of the door, the rest on the right. 4 policemen to keep some of the sidewalk clear.

[Momgonepostal]

16. Does anyone think he has a snowball's chance in hell?

[chiburb]

20. No, but their stratergery is to put Obama under a

microscope for his "future" plans. And, to do it without soiling a local.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

21. Why didn't you post this in the Illinois forum?

:)

[chiburb]

23. Oh great. The forum police are here.

Ha! Suckered you in, as I knew I would!

;-)

[Bertha Venation]

22. Has anyone asked "why?" yet?

[chiburb]

24. see post #20. n/t

[NewYorkerfromMass]

25. No. I think she meant 'Why did you go?' nt

[chiburb]

26. Because NSMA suggested it in a thread in GD...

How can anyone say no to her?

[chiburb]

27. Oh, now I get your question...

Blame NSMA...

[Bertha Venation]

30. No worries. I'm glad you directed me to # 20.

I learned more about dirty politics. Tho't I knew all about 'em, working within walking distance of the White House.

[larryepke]

28. Kevin Roy of Channel 7 had this quote

"I deeply resent the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton's willingness go into a state she doesn't even live in and pretend to represent people there, so I certainly wouldn't imitate it." - Alan Keyes

[chiburb]

29. Ooh! Good one! Save that for future reference...n/t
