so there's this certifiably insane guy named alan keyes who was recruited by the republicans to move from maryland to illinois to take on obama. he recently started venting about how polls are horrible and should be banned before elections. i wonder if he had read the most recent poll before starting this rant, you know the one that placed him at a 40% disadvantage to his opponent, 68% to 23% in the senate race. in a way i'm glad keyes is running, as crazy people make for good tv. it's just too bad that new yorkers were too dumb to see the whole "carpetbagger" thing when hillary cruised into town a few months before election time.
