I wonder how much Obama will beat Keyes by

[StevieM]

I know the margin will be huge, but how huge?

I am thinking 70% Obama, 27% Keyes, 3% other.

BTW, here's a riddle for you: What's the difference between Hillary Clinton and Alan Keyes?




Answer: Hillary moved to New York over a year and a half before the election. She was moving there regardless of whether she ran for the Senate. And had she lost she was staying in New York.

Keyes moved to Illinois four months before the election. The only reason he moved there was to run for Senate. And when he looses he will not be staying.

Keyes and the Freepers like to say that the difference is that "he was invited". But the only people who invited Keyes was a select group of Republican committee members. Hillary was invited by the electorate in a 17-point victory. She won by a wider margin then Schumer in 98, Moynahan in 94 or D'Amato in 92. That's one hell of an invitation.

1. I've posted this before, but here goes again

I took Keyes and over 30% on a bet.

2. 80% or more. Keyes is a complete lunatic.

3. Bigger margin.

Keyes' last senate run, in a state he actually lived in, turned in a loss of 71-29 agasinst Mikulski. (The presidential race that year was Clinton 50, Bush 35, Perot 14 which like 2000 ran about 2% more democratic than Illinois).

I think it'll be 70-23-2, with about 5% of people skipping over that section of the ballot completely.

4. So what then?

for Brother Keyes and his traveling salvation show. A sign by the freeway on ramp. "Will run for Senate for food"
