Candidate Keyes crashes GOP dinner party

October 4, 2004

BY GARY WISBY Staff Reporter

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Alan Keyes wasn't invited to speak Sunday at a dinner sponsored by the New Trier Township Republican Organization, but he showed up anyway.

Tolbert Chisum, who heads the group, said the ultraconservative candidate didn't get a chance to be heard "because we have a full program."

Despite the apparent snub, Keyes' deputy campaign manager, Dan Proft, said Keyes was "encouraged" by his reception at the event, held at Allgauer's Restaurant at the Northbrook Hilton.

Missed it when it happened ... but still amusing. Another for the "what were they thinking" (per Ill republicans who recruited this guy) file.

1. His campaign would make a GREAT movie

I mean it really would.

The candidate that no one wanted.

2. And how should we cast this comedy (?)

The recently late Dangerfield as a primary campaign strategy consultant?

[Mojambo]

7. He would be perfect.

And in the lead role of Keyes...

Hmmm.
Slap a beard on James Earl Jones and go to town.

Although I don't know how well JEJ could do comedy...

3. Obama up 51 points, hahahahahahahaha poor Keyes (not!)

I like the way they say, "The ultraconservative candidate"

10. and I'm cracking up at "Despite the snub, Keyes was 'encouraged'

by his reception at the event"

encouraged in quotation marks.....

Ahh HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wow, that's some serious loserdom

4. You should live in Chicago!

It's hysterical watching the local morning news shows and seeing the Illinois GOP leadership having to go YET AGAIN before the cameras and apologize for/distance themselves from/bad mouth Keyes. They don't want anything to do with him. Rove & Hasstert rammed Keyes down their throats when no one local wanted to run against Obama.

5. I'm waking up early tomorrow...

Just so I can watch the Keyes/Obama thing on "City Desk"

6. Fools

if they thought that this would help bush edge his numbers up in this state.

[BMJ]

8. Tell me about it... "swing state" my ass!

Who the hell's gonna vote for "Obama / Bush"????

[No2W2004]

9. Who the hell's still saying Illinois is a "swing state"

Neither Shrub or Kerry comes here, and we don't see any campaign commecials.

Illinois is the bluest of the blue states!
