Get a clue, Alan
Alan Keyes is blaming the media and RINOs for his loss on Tuesday to Barak Obama. He pointed out that 1.3 million people voted for him. So? 3.4 million people voted against you, Alan.
What Mr. Keyes fails to realize is that Illinois is not New York. The people of Illinois weren't going to welcome him with open arms as New Yorkers did with Hillary Clinton in 2000. They are a little more independent than that. Mr. Keyes also fails to take responsibility for his part in the disaster that was his campaign. He's an outspoken man (whose opinions I happen to agree with a good portion of the time). He just really stinks as a campaigner. He tends to just open his mouth and let the words fly. While that level of transparency is refreshing on the political scene, it's not going to win votes. There would be nothing disingenuous in simply finding other ways of stating your views.
All in all, Mr. Keyes, you beat yourself. Or you were offered up like a sacrificial lamb. But, in this case, don't blame the media and the RINOs for what you did yourself.
