Yeah, I agree with the OP, from what I know about Keyes, he is genuinely conservative
sadly, Keyes lost when he ran against Obama for the Senate seat in 2004, only getting 27% of the vote - but given that he had very little time to campaign and the media were totally against him, he did well.
he was going to run on the Constitution party ticket, but came2nd in their ballot. if he runs as an independent, will anyone here vote for him, rather than McCain?
