Alan Keyes hasn't even decided to run yet, at least as of yesterday.

And how about this end around by the Dems last year: Sen. Robert Torricelli, after asking for and receiving the Democratic nomination in the June 4 primary, decided on September 30 to pull out because he was likely to lose. The Democrat Party wanted to choose a different, more viable, candidate. The first problem with this scheme was that it was designed so party bosses, rather than the voters, chose the nominee. Sen. Torricelli, after all, did not pull out because of incapacity or family crisis, but because he expected to lose.

Not very good at research, tejek?

Here is what you said:
No. Hillary bought a house, moved to New York and then announced her candidacy. Its 4 August and this guy still lives in Maryland with the election three months away.

Looks to me like you are attempting to re-write history:


Democrats defend first lady's New York credentials

Sunday's announcement ends one of the worst-kept secrets in national politics...

...The first lady told a teachers' union conference on November 23 that she would declare her candidacy in a matter of weeks, but not before she settled into a $1.7 million house in suburban Westchester County in early January to meet residency requirements.

She has come under intense scrutiny from the New York press and voters, many of whom have expressed some amount of wariness about why a native of Chicago, who has lived most of her adult life in Arkansas and Washington, would want to take up residence in the Empire State.

But don't let the FACTS stand in your way.

You continue with this:
the IL GOP has none except Keyes.

Are you from Illinois? My guess is you don't live in Illinois. If you did, you would have read this:


Other potential candidates include radio personality Orion Samuelson, whom Syverson called “a strong, strong candidate,” Aurora dairy owner Jim Oberweis, retired Air Force Major Gen. John Borling, Gold Coast businessman John Cox, Oak Brook entrepreneur Chirinjeev Kathuria, Cook County Commissioner Elizabeth Gorman and former deputy drug czar Andrea Grubb Barthwell.

Again, don't let the facts stand in your way. I must admit, this one doesn't really make sense:

No one turned down the NY Dem. candidacy; several have turned down the IL GOP candidacy.

So what? The point is that Hillary was an out of state candidate that ran for office in New York. Your irrelevant spin does not bolster your case. It just makes you appear petty.

As to this:
I could go on but why make this more embarrassing for you all!

I'm glad you stopped when you did. You could have seriously injured yourself by posting such a lame response.
