It is still not official but Alan Keyes is a finalist to run against Barack Obama for the U.S. Senate. This could be fun.....though I suspect Keyes will be slaughtered.

Update:

Apparently, Keyes is now officially the GOP candidate.

M.D. Fulwiler - 8/5/2004

Dream matchup? Is the GOP on crack? The nutcase Keyes will be fortunate to get 20%.

Pat Lynch - 8/5/2004

Only 2 problems with this. 1) Illinois is not nearly as socially conservative as Keyes and 2) we don't take as kindly to outsiders as NY does. I think you're right - I'd be surprised if he got 35%.
