James Joyner tells us that the Chicago Sun Times is reporting that Alan Keyes may take on Barack Obama in the race to become the next Illinois Senator.

If the Illinois GOP is all excited about getting Keyes to run, then they must be really desperate or drinking some really wild hooch. If it was wrong for Hillary Clinton to run for New York Senator (it was), then it's still wrong for Alan Keyes (I believe he lives in Maryland) to run for Illinois Senator.

Jack Ryan may have been unfairly shoved out of the race, but you win some and you lose some. Illinois Republicans should take their lumps and start working on the next project, 'cause this effort ain't gonna get them anywhere.
