Illinois Republicans Pick Keyes in Senate Race

I guess losing presidential races isn't enough for Alan. As rumored here the other day, Illinois Republicans are in the process of drafting the failed presidential candidate into moving to flatlander territory to run for the US Senate.

Keyes reportedly will make his decision by Sunday on whether to accept the offer to run. His statement on Sen. Clinton's 2000 Senate bid probably won't help him gain support less than three months before the election.

"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
