ALAN KEYES VERSUS BARACK OBAMA?

My home state has an interesting Senate race coming up. Obama is the new rising star of the Democratic party after his convention speech. Keyes is an excellent speaker and thinker, and great choice for the Illinois U.S. Senate seat. It will be an uphill battle for Keyes this late in the race if he accepts the Illinois Republican party's invitation to run. It would have been a great race if Keyes was the candidate from the beginning instead of Jack Ryan.
