For me personally, it has absolutely nothing to do with him being black and nothing to do with me being liberal, centrist or whatever. But I remember during the 2000 republican primaries, I personally found him to be extraordinarily arrogant, pompous, and sanctimonious which was a real turnoff for me. I found Alan Keyes and Gary Bauer to be exactly identical in their sanctimoniousness. I saw absolutely no difference between the two. I think you guys emphasize Keyes all the time but not Bauer to say, "See? We're not racist! We like Alan Keyes!" I personally don't think that's good enough. To me, that's the equivalent of an anti-Semite saying, "See? We're not antisemitic! We like Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstein!" That's what many of you are doing whenever you point out how much you favor Alan Keyes.
