And Now, a Happy Little Dance for the People of Illinois
Wonkette is reporting that Alan Keyes got the smackdown from local Democrats for not being a resident of Illinois, and is thus not eligible to run for Senate.
So, a little history of the Illinois GOP effort for a Senate candidate: their first candidate drops out after his "family values" platform doesn't successfully hide the fact that he takes his wife to sex clubs. They go for Mike Ditka, who tells the party that he considers his beliefs too conservative even for them. So they appeal to a four-time loser for everything he's ever run for who comes from out of state: he accepts, makes a few speeches about abortion, God, and 9/11 that would make Jerry Falwell choke on his drink, and then gets his ass shot down. All of this while running against a guy who is considered one of the new dynamos of the Democrats.
Someone on the GOP must have broken a fucking humongous mirror.
