Something you need to know about Alan Keyes: he’s pro-life, he’s not modest about his achievements, and he probably shouldn’t write his own ad copy. And this is the guy the Illinois GOP thinks they might throw against Barak Obama?

• Is widely considered the most formidable defender of America’s founding principles in today’s political arena.
• Is generally conceded to be the winner of the 2000 Republican Presidential Debates, due to his remarkable eloquence and persuasiveness.
• Is capable of leading our country to widespread moral and political renewal, once all of America has a chance to see and hear, first-hand, his self-evident brilliance.

And thanks to Whopundit, I now know that Keyes is balls out crazy.
