He was absolutely creamed by Obama in the election. I think the republicans used him as a throw away candidate in the race.
If I remember correctly, Keyes was added to the ticket at the last minute. He replaced another Republican who was forced out due to some sort of trumped up scandal involving an ex-wife. Nobody expected Keyes to win.Keyes ran for president in 2000. Who here voted for him in the primaries?
*raises hand*
If the libertarians were serious about winning support from Republicans they'd run more candidates like Keyes, not borderline nutjobs like Paul or Badnarik.

Me too.*raises hand*
I heard when he was running in Illinois he began saying nonsensical stuff; the snippets I heard (perhaps due to judicious editing) sounded like he was in favor of the government paying reparations to black people for slavery.
Since then, the only thing I've heard him say - over and over and over - is that abortion ought to be outlawed.

If you aren't promoting pure racial hatred toward whites you are just fly specs in the eyes of most blacks.
Keyes is a rare bright spot on a black blight. He has no problem stating the truth that 89% of all prison inmates, city, county, state and federal are black and asking the blacks if they like that and if they are willing to do anything to change it... and the black community only says its the white man's fault. "White man's magic"... give it up and forget calling yourselves African Americans... what a joke, show me a real one and I'll adress him in Swahili and respect that guy... the average black American will only show me his gun or knife... which will be a big mistake.
Why don't we just become Americans and forget black, white, green, yellow or whatever. I can do it, can you black fellas try, just a little?
?, No, I didn't think so.I live nearly half of the time in Tanzania, Africa and when I started working over there I was concerned about being the "only honky in the area", but, it was unfounded. Glad I didn't decide to work in south Dallas. 99.8% black, Tanzania is a very good place to work with people who have little and only want to get by and get along, gadzooks we could learn a few things from them.

Keyes is one of those people who looks great from a distance and then stinks up close. He has proven he couldn't get elected dog catcher.
Just because someone sounds intelligent and has the right views doesn't make them electable. Look at Powell. Or Rice.
